Has anyone ever published reports that maybe delineate the technologies out there and the relative ease with which they might be integrated into different sorts of classroom environments? My biggest worry about technology is trying to keep up with it all and then figuring out whether I even need to care about or consider some of it for my classroom at all.

Horizon Report Technologies
I think I was expecting more from the Horizon report. For a lot of the technologies, like 3-D printing and wearable technology, I immediately felt like it was interesting but not applicable to the classes I teach. Yes, some of it might be, like MOOCs, but mostly it was not all that helpful for me. I feel like our team tech talks have been far more useful in introducing me to technology that would benefit me in the future.

Ha, I had similar thoughts but put a positive spin on it to make myself feel better. I thought: "Oh good, I've heard of most of the things in this technology report, and the ones I've heard of are the ones that are most relevant to me and my courses. Good for me!"
ReplyDeleteI suggest you adopt a similar attitude : )
