Colleagues,
The NMC Horizons Report is perhaps the premier global report about what is coming next for us as educators. The preview has an overview thought piece ‘Rethinking the Roles of Educators’ as well as identifying key technology trends:
Short term: Blended Learning Designs; Collaborative approaches
Medium term: Focus on measuring learning; Redesigning learning spaces
Long term: Advanced Cultures of Innovation; Deeper learning approaches
It also flags up two ‘Wicked Challenges‘
Managing Knowledge Obsolescence and rethinking the ‘Role of the Educator’
and most usefully has a series of time-to-adoption horizon for different technologies
