Emerging Technologies in Primary Education #2

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))
