The growth of a new company is marked with milestones and we have just had another one with our first piece of PR. We were mentioned in the 2009 Horizon Report, K-12 edition, from the New Media Consortium. The report can be downloaded here.
The Horizon report is a nice resource for technology professionals in school districts. It discusses the trends in technology that are making their ways through the education market. Their reports have been pretty much spot on over the years they have been published.
This year’s version covers the following trends:
- Collaborative environments
- On-line Communication Tools
- Mobiles
- Cloud Computing
- Smart Objects
- The Personal Web
The report talks about the Time to Adoption for each; gives a nice overview of the trend; discusses the relevance for teaching, learning, or creative expression; gives examples of the trend being used in practice; and, gives links to places to continue learning more.
Connected.info is included in the Collaborative environments section, but we could just as easily have been included in several of the others as well. I am very pleased we were included, and I am excited that we achieved this milestone.
