The annual Horizon Report is a well-known source for crystal-ball gazing about emerging technologies which will affect education over the next 5 years.
This links you to the first K-12 (primary and secondary) version.
Technologies to watch : collaborative environments; online communicatiion tools ; mobiles ; cloud computing ; smart objects and the personal web.
Five key trends to watch in schools are described and then five critical challenges (what we used to call problems!)One of these "there is a growing need for formal instruction in key new skills, including information literacy, visual literacy and technological literacy".
The 32 pages are well worth looking at if you are in the school sector.
