Unlike when it seemed the whole world read the end of the Harry Potter series in the same weekend, I knew no one who was reading the Mistborn series and so had no one to share in relishing the outcome. But my solo practitioner, bookish heart is enamored with the possibility of being able to connect with folks who are reading the same material I am.Ī few years ago, I finished the third book of a fantasy series that was truly the most satisfying, spectacular ending to a series that I have ever read (Brandon Sanderson’s The Hero of Ages). I agree with NMC’s analysis that this particular trend is still in its infancy and the technology to support it is not yet clear. On the preliminary “ short list” was an item that caught my imagination, “social reading.” I am frequently intrigued by the insights NMC provides, but this year, I was most excited by one of the trends they decided to leave out of this year’s final report. I had a chance this week to peruse the 2012 Horizon Report – Higher Education Edition – a publication of the New Media Consortium (NMC) that describes emerging technologies judged to be likely to have a near term impact in the world of education.
