The New Media Consortium and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative have released the 2009 Horizon Report which ?seeks to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, research, or creative expression within learning-focused organizations.? The 2009 report identifies six technologies to watch: mobile devices, cloud computing, geo-tagging, the ?personal web,? ?semantic-aware applications,? and ?smart objects.? The entire report can be accessed online; additionally, Steve Kolowich has summarized the report?s take on the technologies above over at the Wired Campus blog.
