Horizon.K12 is a new project for 2009, launched under the banner of the New Media Consortium's Horizon Project that applies the process developed for the New Media Consortium's Horizon Project with a focus on emerging technologies for K-12 learning institutions.

The effort is one of several new Horizon Project initiatives launched in 2008 that focused on specific regions or sectors, including Horizon.au, which focuses on emerging technologies and their impact on education through a uniquely Australasian lens. The Horizon Report: 2008 Australia-New Zealand Edition was released in December 2008.

Members of the K-12 education community are encouraged to follow the Advisory Board's progress as the discussion unfolds and to use the wiki as a resource and reference tool. It is the record of the processes used, materials referenced, research methods, and decisions that were part of creating the 2009 Horizon.K12 Report. It is meant to provide a deep resource of materials that will underpin the Report.

Any interested party is encouraged to participate in the Horizon.K12 Project, as users of and contributors to the wiki, or by tagging resources in delicious.com, using the Project's tag hzk09.
