We are starting to see the erosion of some of these barriers as mobile devices
become more capable and as the value of these tools for collaborative work
becomes more evident.

better job of keeping objectionable content out of the way while allowing useful
tools and content to be accessed. -

its relevance to teaching, learning, and creative expression. - 1 more annotations...

Assessment continues to present a challenge to educators at all levels,
particularly in the context of new media and collaborative work; evaluating
student work that includes blogs, podcasts, and videos, or establishing how much
an individual student contributed to or learned from a collaborative project, is
difficult. -
At many schools today, the technologies named here cannot be used because they
are blocked by content filters. - 1 more annotations...

As technology provides ways for teachers to help shape the constructive use of
communication tools in the classroom, a new world of experiences is opening up
for students.

The Advisory Board’s estimate of two to three years as a likely timeframe for
their adoption in the K-12 sector is a reflection of the fact that younger
students are, at present, less likely than college-age students to carry mobile
devices, especially Internet-capable ones — although there is a growing trend
that suggests this will not always be the case — and that access to cloud-based
applications is more difficult for younger students for the same reasons that
collaborative environments and online communication tools are often out of
reach. -
In some places, mobile devices like the iPhone have already begun to supplant
portable computers as the Internet-capable device of choice.

Google Apps for Education could help with this.

As the project got underway, there was considerable interest in seeing the how similarly K-12 and higher education were viewing emerging technology. As it turned out, there is a considerable overlap, but there are also clear distinctions.

barriers such as policy constraints on using online tools, the fact that many students do not bring laptops to school (as opposed to many college students, who do), and policies that restrict Internet access in many schools.

Over the next year, we anticipate that both groups of technologies will begin to move into the mainstream of teaching practice.

Online tools such as wikis, mindmapping sites, social networks would apply here.

Communication tools are a part of most students’ daily lives outside of school.

Blogs, skype, and many other tools apply here. Moodle has some of these built in, as do other services.

Using Facebook has some privacy issues - some students/parents do choose not to use Facebook because of these. Forcing students to use Facebook as part of a class runs counter to that...

Multi-touch interfaces, GPS capability, and the ability to run third-party applications make today’s mobile device an increasingly flexible tool that is readily adapted to a wide range of tasks for social networking, learning, and productivity.

Collaborative work, research, social networking, media sharing, virtual computers: all are enabled by applications that live in the cloud.

Google Apps for Education is useful for cloud computing, as well as collaborative work.

Using cloud computing is an easy way to promote collaboration.

There are a number of technologies that are used to configure and manage the ways in which we view and use the Internet;

The start of this is already here with the use of RSS. Teachers and students can personalize their web experience, which in turn can personalize their learning experience.

Technologies to Watch
-
The first two topics featured in this edition, collaborative environments and online communication tools, are similar to topics that have appeared in past Horizon Reports; both groups of technologies are now standard in the digital toolset of postsecondary students. In many grade schools, on the other hand, integrating these kinds of technologies into teaching and learning has proven difficult because of barriers such as policy constraints on using online tools, the fact that many students do not bring laptops to school (as opposed to many college students, who do), and policies that restrict Internet access in many schools. We are starting to see the erosion of some of these barriers as mobile devices become more capable and as the value of these tools for collaborative work becomes more evident. Over the next year, we anticipate that both groups of technologies will begin to move into the mainstream of teaching practice.
