An interesting infographic on the future of learning.

Looks like its not too far away...Educators really need to start thinking about how their role will evolve in this scenario.

An interesting infographic on gaming

Not just the information, but the presentation, are awesome. I LOVE infographics.

Fun predictions for technologies and cultural trends that will go extinct over the next several decades.

Linked to the "game-based learning" technology outlined in the NMC Horizon Report 

This infographic is probably the most dense I've ever seen so I won't waste your time (it's the school year, no one has a spare minute) with my blabber. Enjoy the graphic and be sure to share it with your fellow gamification-loving colleagues!

This infographic is especially interesting because, as far as I saw it, most of these "innovative" approaches didn't actually seem all that extraordinary. More generally, it's puzzling (and troubling, really) that despite advances in ed-tech in primary and secondary school, higher education institutions are quite far behind the curve as far as innovative uses of technology goes.

I agree - besides a lot of back-office and stick-stuff-online applications, only Mixable stood out (forming study groups), and that seems not to have much scope.

Great article along with an infographic on the usage of social network in US education "Wikis are an excellent tool for open collaboration and knowledge sharing because they allow everyone to contribute. Roughly 22 percent of United States school districts are involved in creating or maintaining wikis. Educational wikis give teachers and students a place to contribute to the community on the ideas and projects they are working on in the classroom. Wikis teach students how teamwork and collaboration benefit society through knowledge sharing."
