21. Horizon Report K-12 2012
Tablet Computing
Time-to-Adoption: One Year or Less
In the past two years, advances in tablets have captured the imagination of educators around the world. Led by the incredible success of the iPad, which in 2011-
12 was selling at the rate of more than 3 million units a month, other similar devices such as the Samsung Galaxy and Sony’s Tablet S have also begun to enter
this rapidly growing market. In the process, the tablet (a form that is distinct from tablet PCs) has come to be viewed as not just a new category of mobile
devices, but indeed a new technology in its own right, one that blends features of laptops, smartphones, and earlier tablet computers with always-connected
Internet, and thousands of apps with which to personalize the experience.
The device itself encourages exploration of its capabilities, something easily demonstrated by simply placing the device in
the hands of a small child.
Recent research indicates that tablets, because they are designed to easily share their screens, foster key 21st Century
Skills in students, including creativity, innovation, communication, and collaboration.
22. “Take a look around and chances are you'll see a mobile device. Phones,

38. What Is Contemporary
Literacy?
“The Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for
Young Australians (2008) recognised that; ‘rapid and
continuing advances in information and communication
technologies (ICT) are changing the ways people share, use,
develop and process information and use technology.’
In this digital age, young people need to be highly
skilled in the use of ICT. While schools already employ
these technologies in learning, there is a need to
increase their effectiveness significantly over the next
decade”.

39. The skills sets below (Source: FutureLab 2010) were chosen to help guide teachers in
developing learning activities to enable young learners to acquire contemporary literacy
practices.
40. Contemporary Literacies in Action
The Technology can assist literacy outcomes by enabling the students to become the
creator, rather than just the consumer. Allow the technology to foster creativity in students
through having them create their own publications, letting them be the authors.
Two prep students here created their own Stop Motion Here we have a prep student taking us through

42. Contemporary (Digital) Literacy Practices of Preps
DEECD eLearning Project 2011
An excellent resource for assisting educators in implementing technology in
to their teaching and learning programs.
Although it is Prep focused, it is a great resource for those teaching in the
Early Years and beyond.
“This Contemporary Literacy Practices of Preps e-book has been developed to showcase the range of
learning opportunities possible when digital technologies become an integral part of children's’ learning
and development. The e-book is also a testament to the amazing capabilities of young learners to acquire the
necessary digital literacy skills necessary for participation in life. The e-book highlights how technologies
can help support sharing, collaboration and communication in and beyond the classroom.”
