Predictions for 2009

[Lisa Neal Gualtieri]

I compiled a column of Predictions for 2009 from learning experts in eLearn Magazine. I would like to invite you to comment on them and add your own at the end.

Many thanks and best wishes for the New Year!

It's interesting to compare the predictions in your article with those in the Horizon Report from Educause and the New Media Consortium.

Horizon Report

They list grassroots video, collaboration webs, mobile broadband, data mashups, collective intelligence and social operating systems as the emerging educational technologies in the coming five years. A fair amount of overlap with a number of the comments in the eLearn column.

Hi Don,

Would you like to write a short column (500 words) about the different sets of predictions?

Hi Lisa,

I'd like to but I'm not in the best position to do so while you're. And it might be a challenge to shrink it to
140 characters (for twitter) just for the heck of it.

Regards,

Don

Hi,

It's interesting but I admit I haven't finished reading all (about one third). It would be wonderful to extract just one-liner for each prediction, then my reading would have finished sooner, or possibly better, one version of summary of one-liners and the other as it is. Don't mean to be disrespectful, just let out opinion at the spur of moment.

Thank you.
