• Emerging Technologies in Primary Education #2

    Date: 2009.11.24 | Category: ICT, Primary School, technology

    George did an article on Emerging Technologies in Greek and I couldn’t read it so I figured I’d do a post then ask George to see how many of technologies overlapped.

    Here is my list of Emerging Technologies:
    • Web 2 Replacement (ie Google Apps, Primary Email) for non web applications
    • Single Sign on / Federated Login (Such as the UK Federation)
    • SMS, Email & Social networking sites (Facebook/Twitter) to communicate both with pupils and teachers
    • Netbook devices
    • Touch screen devices (Such as fizzbook)
    • Cloud storage, Files stored online
    • More 1:1 projects (One Laptop per Child) and learning at home
    UPDATE: 4 out of 7 overlapped with George (see comments for more details!)
    Here are some I missed off ’cause I forgot..:
    • Learning while playing games (Such as Primary Games Arena)
    • Oled/eink display boards and learning panels once the technology matures
    • Learning outside of the school gates (Continued learning (with/without a structure))
