  1. Using the Horizon Report to Prepare for New Technologies Trent Grundmeyer PhD.

  2. Objectives • Understand how the Horizon Report can be used to plan for effective technology adoption. • Identify resources and models (shared through the annual Horizon Report) that can promote effective technology integration.

  3. When Alice in Wonderland was trying to decide which way to go during her travels, she asked the Cheshire Cat,

  4. "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"

  5. "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.

  6. "I don't much care where," said Alice.

  7. "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

  8. If you don’t care where you are going, then it really doesn't’t matter which choice you make. However, if you do care where you are going and if you know where that is, then it not only makes a difference which way you go, but it makes it easier for you to decide.

  9. WHICH WAY? Deciding which way to go requires first that you decide where you want to go to.

  10. Horizon Top 10 Technology drivers • Education paradigms are shifting to include online learning, hybrid learning, and collaborative models. • Citizen science projects increasingly provide formal students and lifelong learners the opportunity to participate and learn in real STEM projects. • As the abundance of the resources and relationships are more easily accessible via the Internet, we are continuously challenged to revisit our roles as educators. • Increasingly, students want to use their own technology for learning. • From rapid prototyping with 3D printers to building simple circuits and robots, “Making” is now more affordable and accessible than ever.

  11. Horizon Top 10 Technology drivers • Cloud-based tools are enabling rapid innovation across educational environments. • Computer-based assessment and feedback, along with ICT support for personalization, are becoming increasingly important. • Openness-concepts like open content, open data, and open resources, along with notions of transparency and easy access to data and information-is becoming more valuable. • People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want. • Massive open online courses are being widely explored as alternatives and supplements to traditional university courses, especially in STEM+ disciplines.

  12. Horizon Report • A comprehensive research venture established in 2002 by the News Media Consortium that identifies and describes emerging technologies likely to have a large impact over the coming five years in education around the globe.

  13. Timeline to mainstream adoption

  14. 1 Year or less adoption-Cloud computing • Chrome Books • Virtualization • Google Apps • Smart Phones • Security

  15. 1 Year or less adoption-Mobile learning Tablets, smartphones, and mobile apps have become too capable, too ubiquitous, and too useful to ignore, and their distribution defies traditional patterns of adoption, both by consumers, where even economically disadvantaged families find ways to make use of mobile technology, and in schools, where the tide of opinion has dramatically shifted when it comes to mobiles in schools.

  16. We know this in Iowa! https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=204621204869077342726.00048ce0c44b0e785ae9b

  17. 2-3 Years-Learning Analytics

  18. 2-3 Years-Learning Analytics DATA DRIVEN DECISION- MAKING

  19. 2-3 Years-Open content • Non-profits • Creative Commons • Flipped Classroom

  20. 4-5 years-3D printing

  21. 4-5 Years-Virtual & remote labs • Allow for multiple attempts on labs • Good for STEM • Usually well-funded • Very engaging for students

  22. Your challenge Use the Horizon Report or Wiki Page to: 1. Find a technology trend you want to learn more about that could benefit your school. • Find a school that is effectively using a technology from the models in the Horizon Report. • Share one or both of these resources with others (especially technology decision makers). http://flipgrid.com/#bd37afa0
