When conducting a search on "emerging technologies"for 2009, I found one new technology that has huge potential for education. "Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art—and share your creations on the Web. Scratch is often described as a tool to teach kids how to program.At a second glance, it is a worldwide online community of children and adults who create together, share stories with each other, and connect in meaningful ways. But if you scratch the surface even more, you’ll find a rich environment, painstakingly designed to foster expression, learning, and engagement in people of all ages." http://en.oreilly.com/et2009/public/schedule/detail/6987
