Horizon Report released (what does it mean for us?) - NeverEndingSearch - Blog on School Library Journal
Blog from Joyce Valenca - New technologies in education; some of these I had the chance to experience last year like the Geo-everything. This was pretty amazing as one could pinpoint my village and see what was happening there.

Cloud computing: cloud is the term for networked computers
that distribute processing power, applications and large systems among many
machines. Examples of the cloud platform include: YouTube, Flickr, Google. The cloud is invisible to end
user. It makes it possible for users to deploy tools that can scale on
demand to serve as many users as desired. More and more, we trust our
work and our data to the cloud rather than backing up on local machines. We
regularly choose the cloud for its plaform independence, scalability, and value
instead of purchasing proprietary software. I never actually considered
the cloud as a cloud before though I use it extensively, for instance my pathfinder wikis on Wikispaces and PageFlakes, my Flickr galleries.
Time to adoption: Two to three
years
Geo-everything: Using the new classes
of geolocation tools, it is very easy to determine and capture the exact
location of physical objects--as well as capturing the location where digital
media such as photographs and video are taken. . . Devices we commonly carry
with us increasingly have the ability to know where they (and consequently, we)
are, and to record our coordinates as we take photographs, talk to friends, or
post updates to social networking sites. Most of us are aware of the
power and educational
applications of GoogleEarth. The
report suggests these tools will soon be used by researchers (with the help of
people on the ground) to study wildlife migration or to track the spread of
epidemics, using personally geotagged photographs and video.
