6 Trends to Keep an Eye on in 2007, Or Some Such Thing

Which of the following edu-tech trends from eSchool News do you think will have the biggest impact in 2007?  And beyond?

• Trend No. 1: The leveling power of the World Wide Web
• Trend No. 2: Cloud computing
• Trend No. 3: Service-oriented architecture
• Trend No. 4: The gathering SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model)
• Trend No. 5: Telepresence and anytime, anywhere education
• Trend No. 6: 21st-century learning

What is over-stated?  What is not hyped enough?  And what is missing?

(note:  This list comes from an article that is an adaptation of a speech presented by eSchool News Editor Gregg W. Downey at the Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco Oct. 22-26.)

BTW, if that list isn't enough -- or you want to see a more society-large view of technology trends, here's one that might be more intriguing.  And explain that iPod business.  Or YouTubing, maybe.

Or, really go on a tech-trend bender (with a smirk) and check out this lovely treat.  IT'll make you giggle. And maybe wonder.

Thanks to New Zealand's own Derek Wenmouth's blog for the last 2 tips.  Good stuff, mate.
