Tech Trends

This last week I dove into a lot of resources about learning tech trends, both in The Horizon Report and afterward, once it stoked the fires of my imagination.

Educational ICT4D budding trends, if you could call them that, that interest me include telepresence/avatars (for lack of better nomenclature) and remote labs. But I discovered less about these than I'd like. Nonetheless, exploring was still instructive, and furthered my knowledge about the other, related topics.

Ultimately I decided to create an infographic to share my ideas. I had never created one before, and I thought it fit what I was wanting to accomplish by explaining these ideas in a palatable way to a peer of mine. In fact, a more detailed write-up in the Google doc linked below explains that this whole idea came about when she said, "... it is hard to determine just how much a smartphone could do for education in remote places." Thanks for the inspiration to create this, Kaelyn!
