NMC Horizon Report

The NMC Horizon Report is a very useful tool for any educator. The NMC Horizon Report maps out the newest/emerging technology within the next 12 months. Moreover, the Horizon Report shows technology that could potentially make teaching and learning more efficient. For instance, an emerging technology that could create efficient and creative learning is the 3-D printer.

I am very surprised that this report is well-known between educators around the world or U.S. This type of report and help educators reach their students on a more efficient level. Students are constantly exploring new technology. Some of this technology is useless for the sake of education, but some of this technology can help a lot of students learn. Furthermore, exposing students to the technology they will be familiar with college could better prepare those students for life after high school.

In my opinion, I believe is builds a relationship when students get the opportunity to teach their "teachers" something about a new technology. As educators and teachers, we are always showing the students the way instead of allowing them to show us a way. I think that this gives a heads up for new technology and we should allow our students to show us a way, which will build a stronger relationship.
