This report reflects a collaborative research effort to help inform Brazilian educational leaders about significant developments in technologies supporting teaching, learning, and creative inquiry in primary and secondary education. In an effort that ran from August through October 2012, a carefully selected group of 30 experts considered hundreds of relevant articles, news clippings, blog posts, studies, and project examples as part of the preparation that ultimately pinpointed the most notable emerging technology topics, trends, and challenges for schools in Brazil over the next five years. The 12 "Technologies to Watch" presented in the body of this report reflect these experts' opinions about which of the nearly 50 technologies considered will be most important to Brazilian primary and secondary education over the next five years. These technologies are profiled, each on a single page that describes and defines a technology ranked as very important for Brazilian schools over the next year, two to three years, and four to five years. Each of these pages opens with a carefully crafted definition of the highlighted technology, outlines its educational relevance, points to several real life examples of its current use in schools, and ends with a short list of additional readings for those who wish to learn more. Following those discussions are sections that detail the Brazilian advisory board's ten top-most ranked trends and challenges, and articulate why they are seen as highly influential factors in the adoption of any of these technologies over the coming five years. Those key sections, and this report in general, constitute a reference and straightforward technology-planning guide for educators, researchers, administrators, policymakers, and technologists.
