Roger’s (2003) Six Steps of Innovation Recognition of a problem or need Research Development Commercialization Diffusion/Adoption Consequences

Need: 

Need While laptop computer allows users to work in mobile environments, they have issues that innovators looked to solve: Short battery life Weight Portable, but only to a point

Need in our schools: 

Need in our schools Replace outdated technology Digitizing textbooks for updated content Address the different learning styles of our students

Learning styles?: 

Learning styles?

Before iPad: 

Before iPad Newton Message Pad 2000 Shows some resemblance to iPad features.

Timeline of the iPad: 

Timeline of the iPad Rogers’ (2003) 5 stages of the innovation-decision process. Stage 1: Knowledge Stage 2: Persuasion Stage 3: Decision Stage 4: Implementation Stage 5: Confirmation

Stage 1: Knowledge : 

Stage 1: Knowledge Announced by Steve Jobs: January 27, 2010 First orders: March 12, 2010 Released: April 3rd http://www.macrumors.com/2010/01/27/apple-tablet-media-event-today-come-see-our-latest-creation /

Stage 2: Persuasion: 

Stage 2: Persuasion Simplicity Low cost applications Replaces books and laptops Updated content http://www.discountcoder.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-the-ipad-infographic /

Stage 3: Decision: 

Stage 3: Decision Schools replacing books with iPads We currently have 60 at the high school Urban districts using iPads district-wide

Chicago: 

Chicago

Stage 4: Implementation: 

Stage 4: Implementation Some schools and colleges have gone completely iPad. From faculty to student, everyone relies on the device Continual use will determine feasibility http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/04/ipad-textbooks /

Stage 5: Confirmation: 

Stage 5: Confirmation Not at confirmation stage Too many unknowns Poor economy Pushback from some parents http:// blogs.edweek.org/teachers/leading_from_the_classroom/2011/11/ipads_in_schools_replacing_backpacks_ithinknot.html

Communication: 

Communication Mass marketed by Apple Word of Mouth from adopters and bloggers Educators see usefulness Spread desire for widespread use of device http://www.ipadinschools.com/284/why-the-ipad-should-be-used-in-classrooms /

Adopters: 

Adopters Rogers (2003) identified 5 adopter categories: Innovators Early Adopters Early Majority Late Majority Laggards

Innovators: 

Innovators Younger, more affluent teachers Used iPads in college Have access to cutting edge technology

Early Adopters: 

Early Adopters Have used technology for years Already integrate, but do not innovate Cautious

Early Majority: 

Early Majority Wait and see approach Conscientious about changing practices Will adopt if iPad shows academic promise

Late Majority: 

Late Majority Adopt only when required Not averse to technology Feel less benefits than traditional methods Overwhelmed

Laggards: 

Laggards Twilight of careers Technology averse

S-shaped curve of adoption: 

S-shaped curve of adoption Innovators Early Adopters Early Majority Late Majority Laggards

How to convince the masses: 

How to convince the masses Innovators—hip, unique, “hook” Early Adopters—relatively better than laptops Early Majority—appeal to pedagogical methods Late Majority—simplicity of the device Laggards—appeal to their experience

Perceived attributes: 

Perceived attributes Rogers (2003) mentioned the five perceived attributes: Relative advantage Compatibility Complexity Trialability Observability

Centralized or Decentralized: 

Centralized or Decentralized Teacher liberty + shared responsibilities = decentralized approach

Key Change Agents: 

Key Change Agents CATE (Career and Technology Education) Department Chairs

7 Roles of Change Agents: 

7 Roles of Change Agents Develop a need for change Information exchange Diagnose problems Create intent to change Translate intent to action Stabilize adoption Terminal relationship

Critical Mass Yet?: 

Critical Mass Yet? Critical mass—when enough momentum promotes growth 10%-20% Not quite there Adopt the iPad at all schools within district Success would lead for further adoption.

Needs: 

Needs Reduce textbook expenditures, balance budget Accessible technology Modernized technology Tools students will see in the workforce Hands-on learning

The Champion: 

The Champion CATE teachers They use technology daily Students achieve greater success in their classes They link the core curriculum to job skills students will need upon graduation Respected by colleagues

So why the iPad?…: 

So why the iPad?… We could have this in our schools:
