2. What’s an Emerging Technology?  If it’s out of the engineering lab, but not yet widely in use or widely known, we consider it an emerging technology

3. The ET Task Force  Our goal is to create a database of contributions from educators highlighting their use of emerging technologies to support teaching and learning.

4. The ET Task Force ISTE Emerging Technologies Idea Library (http://theatrain.com/ISTE_ET.html)http://theatrain.com/ISTE_ET.html

5. ET Fundamentals  Any educational technology (emerging or otherwise) can only deliver its potential benefits if the whole system allows that to happen

6. ET Fundamentals  Any student learning that is not explicitly designed to provide opportunities and supports for mastery of 21 st century skills is not likely to produce these results accidentally or by coincidence.

7. ET Fundamentals  Only through careful, thoughtful and effective planning can people, resources and ideas be aligned to allow all learners (students, educators, parents and community) to have the skills and knowledge they require to thrive in the 21st century.

52. ET Deserving Wider Recognition  Supercomputing – Simulation of physical phenomena, such as weather forecasting, galaxy formation, oil reservoir management – data mining (finding needles of information in a haystack of data, such as: gene sequencing, signal processing, detecting storms that could produce tornados) – visualization: turning a vast sea of data into pictures a scientist can understand.

53. ET Deserving Wider Recognition  iSkills Technology Assessment – uses technology to allow students to demonstrate their proficiency in using cognitive/critical thinking skills in a technological environment to define, access, evaluate, manage, integrate, create and communicate information  Convergence – provides new opportunities to deliver education by focusing on technologies such as podcasting, videoconferencing, online collaboration, multimedia service delivery, video-on-demand, and integration of Wi-Fi with cellular.

54. ET Deserving Wider Recognition  Network Quality of Service – Replacing packet-shaping (prioritizing classes of network traffic and essentially giving some applications preferential treatment at the expense of others)  Agent Based Modeling Tools – Building models that simulate the simultaneous operations of multiple agents, in an attempt to re-create and predict the actions of complex phenomena.
