The Horizon Report is out

This is "a decade-long research project designed to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have an impact on learning, teaching, and creative inquiry in higher education. Six emerging technologies are identified across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years, as well as key trends and challenges expected to continue over the same period, giving campus leaders and practitioners a valuable guide for strategic technology planning."  From the New Media Center Website.  

We are in a time of rapid change.  The Horizon Report makes educated predictions each year about new technologies for education.  I would love to talk about the report and its implications.
