The CoSN Horizon Report: 2012 K-12 Edition Toolkit is intended to be used by educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders to continue the conversation around the future of learning and the emerging technologies and issues discussed in the Report.
Toolkit components include:
- Presentation Template - a PowerPoint presentation file providing an overview of the research-based report and its discussion of key trends, significant challenges, and of the six technologies that hold promise for K-12 education in the next one to five years. In the Notes View of the file is a suggested script or set of notes that may be used for group presentations.
- Discussion Facilitator's Guide - a document to be used in conjunction with the Presentation Template, providing guiding questions to pose to school district or education institution stakeholders to stimulate thinking about the technologies identified in the Report and to use for group reflection and discussion about them and other technologies of interest.
- Discussion Activities - designed to engage stakeholders in dialogue to identify local instructional challenges, consider emerging technologies as solutions, and develop action plans.
- Video Clips - produced by JDL Horizons, LLC, these include an overview and six video shorts of emerging technologies presented in the Report. Videos presented in a news story format describe classroom application of the technologies and insights from practitioners and students. These video resources are designed to supplement the presentation slides and to stimulate and facilitate local stakeholder conversation.
