Johnson, L., Adams, S., and Cummins, M. (2012). NMC Horizon Report: 2012
K-12 Edition. Austin, Texas: The New Media Consortium
Summary
This report is a very valuable summary of the latest trends in educational technology that is produced annually and takes a five year look ahead at technologies for education. The organization produces a version for K-12, higher ed, museums and libraries and breaks the trends down into short-term, mid-term and long-term time frames. They also present the significant challenges impeding the introduction of educational technology broken down into solvable, difficult and wicked. Finally, they present the important developments in educational technologies over the next one to five years.
Evaluation
I find the report very useful and interesting to read each year. There is an executive summary so you can get all the main information quickly and easily and then just read the parts that apply to you. It's a great way to stay abreast of developments in educational technology and start to plan ahead for what may affect you in your situation.
