From Horizon.au
Welcome to the workspace for the Horizon.au Project, which will produce a report focusing on emerging technology and its applications for education (broadly defined) in Australia and New Zealand. This space was created as a place for the members of the Horizon.au Advisory Board to manage the process of selecting the topics for the 2009 Horizon Report: Australia-New Zealand Edition to be known informally as the Horizon.au Report.

Introduction to the Horizon Project Wiki
The Sandbox is our primary work area. There you will find links to the areas in which we are actively engaged. You will see it change as we move through the various processes involved in sorting through the technologies and issues we will deal with as we make our way to the final list that we'll feature in the 2007 Horizon Report. Status and process advisories will always help you know what we are asking of you each week.
You'll also find a carefully selected collection of press clippings, articles, reports, essays, RSS feeds, and links we've gathered to inform our work. The items in these areas are meant to grow – please add to them liberally from your own readings and environmental scanning – and above all, leave comments!
Next is a look back to last year's report. Included here are discussions from current and past advisory board members on the current state of some of the technologies we thought would be important a year ago. We'd like to know your views, as we are still within the adoption horizons for all of the technologies listed in 2008.
Live RSS feeds are a critical way we ensure we have access to the most up-to-date content. There is much material here, and with your help, it will grow in significance, as you add your own resources to the mix.
We round out the wiki with a special section related to the Horizon.au Advisory Board.
