Check it out... Get connected... Be the first... Just experiment...


The "New Media Consortium Horizon Report for 2011" is out and provides a good overall report on new trends and tries to predict what will be relevant from 1 year to five years down the road. Through this class we are lucky to have a deeper appreciation for technology and as future principals we must lead in the experimentation and implementation of future technologies. 


Check it out...




Get Connected...
Talk to fellow educators and administrators. Figure out where you see your classroom, school, and district headed. Arrange times to meet or email and research more and more about the future of technology.

Be the First...

Don't be afraid of what is to come. Go out on a limb and be the expert invite others to jump in with you. We may never know totally what the best use of technology may be in the future but if we commit to some and use it in best practices possible it will be worth the effort. 

Just Experiment...

 Technology is a tool, it is adaptable, and can be modified. Do not be bound by it, or use it in only one way. Experiment with it allow students and other educators to experiment with it.  Please Have Fun With Technology.

  1. I am all for electronic textbooks...I think it's a great way to cut back on costs and utilize technology in the classroom. I am still unfamiliar with the augmented reality, but it seems really interesting and I would like to see some examples of it being used in a classroom. I find that the more I experiment with technology the better I get at technology as a whole...more people should give technology a try.

  2. I agree with Taylor. We need to be able to use electronic textbooks as well as find companies that have solid websites and resources to support the students.

  4. I shared this report with some of my school administrators. It is packed with information for school planning.
