Prezi version of 2009 Horizon Report

I've used Prezi a couple of time for presentations and people have been pretty enthusiastic about the tool as a way to keep the masses attentive to a presentation. I also use the Horizon Projects reports in some of my class work and presentations. Totally by accident stumbled upon this Prezi on Horizon 2009 - not only is it a cool way of putting the Horizon Project across, it is a great example of how to deliver a prezi. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks to Rachel Smith!

Next Horizon Project starts tomorrow

Going to start with Kate from Landco to help set the scene then run through this Slideshare deck with the students. This slideshow has two extra slides that I usually don't use with this age of student - I have tended to just draw these on the board as I go. Slides 3 and 4 show the growth of information over time - the exponential nature of slide 3 is usually enough to convince most people that something needs to change, and quickly, with respect to what we try and teach and how. But it is worth going back to the overall view of all of history - I've just used since 0 AD - the graph is startling - we go "vertical" with our change of volumes of information - or knowledge. Just how do we cope with this with a society at large that is often blissfully ignorant of just how significant these times are in the history of our planet.
