[Year 12 IT Apps] K-12 Horizon Report - request for submissions by March 15

[Donna Benjamin]

Hi all,

Some of you may remember Dr Kathryn Moyle - she gave a keynote at the
VITTA conf a few years back.  She's in the international advisory group
for the K-12 Horizon Report 2010.

They've put out a call for examples for the report...  Does your school
have any tech pilot program or implementations in the following areas?

Time-to-Adoption Horizon:  One Year or Less
   * Cloud Computing
   * Collaborative Environments

Time-to-Adoption Horizon:  Two to Three Years
   * Educational Gaming
   * Mobiles

Time-to-Adoption Horizon:  Four to Five Years
   * Augmented Reality
   * Thin Film Displays

How to Participate
If you know of examples we could include, please use the brief web form
at http://go.nmc.org/horizon-example-project to tell us about them. We
ask for a title, a URL, and a one- or two-sentence description; you also
will need to select which of the six topics your example falls under.
The process takes about two minutes.

Read below for more detail - see the attached preview report... and get
your submissions in by Monday March 15th.

cheers
Donna

Hi All
Could you circulate this request widely please? - Many thanks – Kathryn

HI All
I am a member of the international advisory group for the K-12 Horizon
Report 2010. The Horizon Report is put together annually by the New
Media Consortium located in the USA. The report provides insights into
time to adoption for technologies in school education. You can review
the 2009 Horizon Report at http://wp.nmc.org/horizon-k12-2009/

In 2010, the New Media Consortium, with support from Hewlett-Packard and
in collaboration with the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), is
preparing the 2010 Horizon Report: K12 Edition. We are interested in
learning about any kind of research, pilot programs, innovative
projects, or other work happening in schools, or at schools you know
about, in any of the six areas listed below. (See the attached 2010
Horizon Report: K12 Edition Preview of the topics for more details.) Our
goal is to help readers understand the potential impact of these
technologies and their applications on teaching, learning, or creative
inquiry. 
 
Here are the six areas identified for this year's report:
 
Time-to-Adoption Horizon:  One Year or Less
   * Cloud Computing
   * Collaborative Environments

Time-to-Adoption Horizon:  Two to Three Years
   * Educational Gaming
   * Mobiles

Time-to-Adoption Horizon:  Four to Five Years
   * Augmented Reality
   * Thin Film Displays
 
The Time-to-Adoption Horizon indicates how long the Advisory Board feels
it will be until a significant number of schools are providing or using
each of these technologies or approaches broadly. Of course, a number of
innovative teachers and schools are already working in some of these
areas, and those are the very efforts we want to highlight. Of special
interest are any activities that have a significant web presence so that
a URL might be included in the report.

How to Participate
If you know of examples we could include, please use the brief web form
at http://go.nmc.org/horizon-example-project to tell us about them. We
ask for a title, a URL, and a one- or two-sentence description; you also
will need to select which of the six topics your example falls under.
The process takes about two minutes.

We hope to have your examples by Monday, March 15, but no matter what,
we'd love to hear about what you are doing!  All we really need is a
sentence of description and a URL -- we'll do the rest.
 
On behalf of the Horizon Advisory Group - thanks -- and we look forward
to hearing from you!
Regards
Kathryn
