2009 Horizon Report: The K12 Edition » Two to Three Years: Cloud Computing on 2009-04-01
- “data farms” — specialized data centers that host thousands of servers.
- The cloud is the term for networked computers that distribute processing power, applications, and large systems among many machines
- 8 more annotations...
- - tools like Ning, PageFlakes, Facebook, and Voicethread are cloud applications
  - Flickr and YouTube provide options for hosting and sharing media
  - Unlike traditional software packages that can be installed on a local computer and are available as long as the operating system supports them, cloud-based applications are services offered by companies and service providers in real time
  - the problem of how to provide services, data storage, and computing power to a growing number of Internet users without investing capital in physical machines that need to be maintained and upgraded on-site.
  - Instead of locking files and software inside a single computer, we are gradually moving both the products of our work and the tools we use to accomplish it into the cloud
  - Cloud-based applications can provide students and teachers with free or low-cost alternatives to expensive, proprietary productivity tools. Schools are beginning to take advantage
  - Already, cloud-based applications are being used in schools to provide virtual computers to students and staff without requiring each person to own the latest laptop or desktop machine;
  - The support for group work and collaboration at a distance embedded in many cloud-based applications could be a benefit applicable to many learning situations

2009 Horizon Report: The K12 Edition » Four to Five Years: The Personal Web on 2009-04-01
- Tools for tagging, aggregating, updating, and keeping track of content assist today’s learners in creating and navigating a web that is increasingly tailored to their own needs and interests: the personal web.
- part of the personal web is the underlying idea that web content can be sorted, displayed, and even built upon according to an individual’s personal needs and interests.
- 10 more annotations...
- - forms of learning and expression, though technically unrelated, work together seamlessly without any need for complicated setup, thanks to open applications programming interfaces (APIs) and easily integrated web feeds.
  - Increasingly outside of school, the web experience is a personal one, tailored to the needs of the user;
  - Inadequate infrastructure and equipment also restrict access; in classrooms where there is a single computer, or in schools where students can only use computers in libraries or labs, there is little opportunity for students to curate or maintain evolving collections of online material.
  - As the value of providing Internet access to students becomes more clear, infrastructure issues will be addressed, and the personal web
  - The tools of the personal web are ideal for research and learning.
  - Diigo (http://www.diigo.com) organize web links according to subject.
  - Browser widgets — small tools that can be installed easily, often by simply dragging to the browser toolbar
  - The ease of online publishing, especially blogging, gives students a place to voice their opinions, ideas, and research.
  - for students to keep up with what their peers are publishing. Tagging is one method
  - Aggregators are an easier way to collect and display content

- We Make Miro
  
  Miro is our core project. It's a free
  open-source desktop video application that is designed to make mass media more
  open and accessible for everyone.
  
  Television is the most popular medium in our culture. But broadcast and
  cable TV has always been controlled by a small number of big corporations. We
  believe that the internet provides an opportunity to open television in ways
  that have never been possible before.
  
  Miro is designed to eliminate gatekeepers. Viewers can connect to any video
  provider that they want. This frees creators to use the video hosting setup that
  works best for them-- whether they choose to self-publish or use a service. It's
  the kind of openness that the internet allows and that we should all demand.
