2010+Horizon+Report+-+Technologies+to+Watch

The 2010 Horizon report shows us many different technologies that are starting to be utilized in the classroom. The one particular one that I was most interested in was Augmented Reality. This form of technology has been around for several years now but has only recently began to make its way into use in the classroom setting.

Augented reality uses many of the devices that most people already have in their possession to enhance data and make it more interactive. Smart phones for example are only one way that people can access different information and make it more interactive and more engaging. teachers have an ever growing resource of information to enhance lessons and engage students in much more intriguing ways right at their finger tips.

Augmented reality is projected to be fully implemented into the classroom within the next four to five years according to the 2010 Horizon Report. I personally, have already began implementing such technology into my own classroom. I am looking forward to the ever growing resources that are constantly being developed.
