Abstract	This report presents the findings of a research project led by the New Media Consortium (NMC) and intended to inform educational leaders about significant developments in technologies supporting teaching, learning, and creative inquiry in Singaporean K-12 education. It was produced to explore emerging technologies and forecast their potential impact expressly in a K-12 context. In the effort that ran from August through September 2012, a carefully selected group of experts was asked to consider hundreds of relevant articles, news, blog posts, research, and project examples as part of the preparation that ultimately pinpointed the most notable emerging technology topics, trends, and challenges for K-12 education in Singapore over the next five years. The 12 "technologies to watch" presented in the body of this report reflect the experts' opinions as to which of the nearly 60 technologies considered will be most important to Singaporean K-12 education over the five years following the publication of the report. The choices of the experts overlap in interesting ways with those who contributed to the "NMC Horizon Report > 2012 K-12 Edition" (ED593595) which looked at technology uptake from a global perspective, and the "Technology Outlook for Australian Tertiary Education 2012-2017" (ED532405) which examined similar uptake in an Australian context. All three of these projects' advisory boards -- a group of 112 acknowledged experts -- strongly agree that cloud computing, mobile apps, and tablet computing will likely tip into mainstream use within the next year -- a trend that spans education across much of the world. Similarly, all three saw gamification or game-based learning as an emerging approach to teaching and learning that would be making its way into schools in the mid-term horizon, along with personal learning environments. They also agreed that natural user interfaces are redefining how we think about and use our devices, with a consensus on the four-to-five year timeframe.
