[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.

[ED-TECH] New: NMC Horizon Report 2013 Higher Education Edition

Hi everyone,

 

The new Horizon Report has been released.  You can download it from the link below.

http://www.nmc.org/publications/2013-horizon-report-higher-ed

 

If you are not familiar with NMC, they are an organization that works with various educational institutions and museums to identify and promote innovative ways to use technology for teaching and learning.

 

Each year, there is a collaboration between NMC and the Educause Learning Initiative; they take a look at emerging technologies and vote on how and when they will effect different institutions: K-12, Higher Education, and Museums. These discussions lead to the publication of the Horizon Reports.

 

The Horizon Reports are very interesting – they include links to institutions and/or companies that are already working on the emerging technology highlighted in the report.

For example:

·         A MOOC (Massively Open Online Courses) called “Landmarks in Physics” delivered through Udacity was created by an MIT graduate who filmed in Italy, the Netherlands, and England to create a virtual tour that explains the basic concepts of physics at the sites of important discoveries in our history: http://go.nmc.org/phy.

·         In a pilot program at Yale University’s Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, instructors are sharing images from their digital microscopes with students’ iPads through a mobile app. By connecting microscope with tablet, students are able to annotate images and capture them for future use: http://go.nmc.org/yavis.

·         Harvard University’s Semitic Museum is using 3D printing technology to restore a damaged ancient artifact from their collection. By 3D scanning existing fragments of the Egyptian lion’s legs, researchers are able to create computer models that will be used to print a scale foam replica of the complete sculpture, though it initially was missing its body and head: http://go.nmc.org/semit.

 

I encourage you to check out the report. There are some amazing things created by mixing technology and education.
