INNOVATION DEVELOPMENTValeria ShanksEducation 8841 Diffusion and Integration of Technology in Education
INTRODUCTION
What is the significance of Innovation development for computer technology in K-12 schools?
WHY WAS THERE A NEED TO INTRODUCE TECHNOLOGY?
Competition with Russia’s space program
RESEARCHWhat organization (people)
developed a solution to the problem?
What were the findings?
Who were the lead thinkers for innovation of computer technology?
DEVELOPMENTWhat problems were
encountered in the development process?
Who was the intended audience for computer technology?
COMMERCIALIZATIONProcess for production,
manufacturing, packaging, marketing, and distribution for Apple which was the first company to donate computers to schools.
Computers evolve through innovation-decision process
KnowledgePersuasion
DecisionImplementation
Confirmation
Stage 1—KnowledgeComputer innovation
Apple I PC computers are donated to classrooms
Stage II-Persuasion1979 ---Personal computers
popularity grows worldwide
1981---IBM develops drill and practice software for schools
Stages 3 and 4Decision/Implementation
1983 Apple II computer gains acceptance into classrooms
Stage 5--Confirmation1984—Apple Macintosh computer is
developed1986– K-12 schools use computers for
instruction and guidance purposes1990—Multimedia PCs are developed1994—multimedia capabilities are
popularized in schools1995—and beyond Internet gains
popularity in schools

Innovativeness and Five Adopter Categories
Innovators: Venturesome
Early Adopters RespectEarly Majority DeliberateLate Majority Skeptical
Laggards: TraditionalTraditional
Rogers’ (2003) Diffusion of Innovations
S Curve for ComputersThe S Curve for the Personal
computer has reached maturity.
Who are the least likely to adopt computer technology?
Late Majority: Skeptical
Laggards: Traditional
Attributes that affect computer technology adoption
1.Relative advantage2. Compatibility3. Trialability
Computer technology adoption(Benefits)
Connection with business and government
Enhances problem solving skillsCollaboration and distance educationExposure to variety of computer
programs and software (sharing data)Meets challenges of global
communicationPreparation for current and future job
marketStudents produce higher-quality work
Predictability for future usage
Schools must alter teaching strategies
Generate support for technology from parents, community, and business personnel
Continual professional development activities for educators on technology usage
Equitable distribution of computers among socioeconomic groups
Hybrid ---centralized and decentralized
combines centralized and decentralized
1. (overall control will rest with local experts) (Research)
2. Encourage diffusion through peer networks
3. Problem-centered approach created by needs
4. A high-degree of local adaptation
Change Agents for adoption of computer technology
School SuperintendentsCurriculum DirectorsPrincipalsTeachers
Change agent for technology integration
1) develop a need for change2) establish an information
exchange relationship3) translate an intent into action
Computer Technology Critical MassComputer technology has
reached critical mass.My proposal is to integrate
technology in K-12 schools that has not adopted a school-wide plan for technology usage.
Every teacher and child have access to a computer for instructional purposes.
