I’m always interested in learning from the prognosis of the New Media Consortium‘s Annual New Horizon Report. The 2010 preview (7th annual report) is out – with still a few weeks to go in 2009!
As usual the report categorizes new educational technologies in three time frames. And the winners are :
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: One Year or Less
- Mobile Computing
- Open Content
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years
- Electronic Books
- Simple Augmented Reality
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Four to Five Years
- Gesture-Based Computing
- Visual Data Analysis
Rather than squint into my own crystal ball, to attempt to validate or refute this latest publication, I thought it might be fun to look backwards to the first New Horizons Report issued in 2004.
