4. “While attention to choosing the appropriate technology
for learning and assessment is a prerequisite,
it is the skill and attitude of the trainer and assessor
that determines the effectiveness of technology
integration into learning and assessment design.”
(adapted from http://techteaching.net/teachers.html)

8. The 2010 Horizon
Report
A qualitative research
project established in 2002
that identifies and describes
emerging technologies likely
to have a large impact on
teaching, learning, or
creative inquiry on college
and university campuses
within the next five years

9. The 2010 Horizon
Report Trends
The abundance of resources
and relationships made
easily accessible via the
Internet is increasingly
challenging us to revisit our
roles as educators in sense-
making, coaching, and
credentialing.
People expect to be able to
work, learn, and study
whenever and wherever
they want to
The technologies we use are
increasingly cloud-based,
and our notions of IT
support are decentralized
The work of students is
increasingly seen as
collaborative by nature,
and there is more cross-
campus collaboration
between departments

30. The Future

31. The 2009 Horizon
report research
trends
Technology is increasingly
a means for empowering
students, a method for
communication and
socialising, and a
ubiquitous , transparent
part of their lives.
The perceived value of
innovation and creativity is
increasing
Technology continues to
impact how people work,
play, gain information, and
participate in communities

32. The 2009 Horizon
report trends
The way we think
about learning
environments is
changing
Practices for evaluating
student work will evolve in
response to the changing
nature of learning and
student preferences for
receiving feedback
Ageing learning
environments do not easily
allow for embracing the use
of information and
communication technologies
(ICTs), or enable the sorts of
learning support systems
being promoted by modern
theorists

33. The 2009 Horizon
report trends
There is a growing need for
formal instruction in key
new skills, including
information literacy, visual
literacy, and technological
literacy.
There is a growing
recognition that new
technologies must be
adopted and used as an
everyday part of classroom
activities, but effecting this
change is difficult.

35. The technology used in
this presentation?

36. Our goal as educators is not to be a passive consumer of
information or to simply tune in when the time is right,
but rather to be attentive in a world where information is
everywhere. To be peripherally aware of information as it
flows by , grabbing it at the right moment when it is most
relevant, valuable, entertaining, or insightful. Dana Boyd
