[ED-TECH] Horizon Report in Action: Emerging Technologies Today and Tomorrow

Ed-Tech list members,

The Horizon Report looks at technology that will be affecting (and hopefully improving) education in the coming years. The technologies in the 2013 report are MOOCs, Tablet Computing, Games and Gamification, Learning Analytics, 3D Printing, and Wearable Technology . A 90 minute webinar on Wednesday, March 27, 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm, will discuss the findings of this year's report.

I read this report every year, and try to attend this webinar to get more perspective on what may be coming down the road and what changes may occur. I encourage you, if you can free the time from your busy schedule, I encourage you to sign up for the webinar using the following link.

[ED-TECH] Student created videos?

Ed-Tech list members,

I am looking for people whose students create videos as part of their classwork. I am using "video" very loosely: anything that is delivered in a video file format, whether filmed with a camera or not.  If your students create videos as part of their classwork please let me know so I can talk with you.
