Introducing the Horizon EdTech Weekly App
At the NMC, we're very proud of the Horizon Project. After 10 years of research and documenting edtech innovation, we wanted to do something that would reach an even wider audience and help inform the decisions educators make. Now available in iTunes, the Horizon EdTech Weekly App is the product of this idea. It delivers curated, relevant, and timely edtech projects and news every weekend, the entire NMC Horizon Report series on emerging technology across various learning sectors, and a rich, searchable, re-mixable database of educational technology and innovation resources -- all directly to your iPad or iPhone.

Findings from the 2012 Horizon Project Retreat
In honor of the 10th anniversary of the NMC Horizon Project, we hosted a retreat to discuss the next decade of teaching, learning, and creative  inquiry. Over 100 thought leaders from all over the globe, all previous Horizon
Project Advisory Board members, congregated at this event, tucked away in the beautiful, secluded Hyatt Lost Pines. Everything about the retreat was intense
-- from the six-minute keynotes to the
small and large group discourse to the organized flurry of reflections, ideas, and solutions that covered the walls of the meeting space. What came out of this two-day event was a set of 10 metatrends that we believe will shape the next ten years of education. These metatrends are described in an official communiqué and are the catalyst of a special Horizon Report edition coming out later this year. The six-minute videos (like the one of Ruben Puentedura, above) will also serve as an inspiration and guide for activities within the NMC community.
