The Horizon Project is the centerpiece of New Media Consortium’s (NMC) Emerging Technologies Initiative which charts the landscape of emerging technologies for teaching, learning and creative expression and produces the NMC’s annual Horizon Report. Since the launch of the Horizon Project in March 2002, the NMC has held an ongoing series of conversations and dialogs with hundreds of technology professionals, campus technologists, faculty leaders from colleges and universities, and representatives of leading corporations.

Now the NMC directs its attention to K-12 schools. The 2009 Horizon Report: The K-12 Edition describes each profiled technology in detail, including its relevance to teaching, learning, and creative expression. Their research indicates that each of these six technologies will have a significant impact on K-12 schools within the next five years.
