  10. Why Web 2.0? • allows students to be both learner and teacher (Rogers, Liddle, Chan, Doxey, Isom, 2007)

  11. Innovation-Diffusion Process: Need • In order to prepare students for 21st century careers, schools need to use 21st century technologies (Byrne, 2009). • Second generation technologies like wikis, blogs, podcasts, and vlogs allow teachers to increase collaboration in an online setting (Beldarrain, 2009).

  12. “Well-chosen technology resources infused into classroom instruction can create more engaged and better students” (Byrne, 2009, p. 51). Increased engagement leads to increased efficiency, motivation to learn, deeper understanding, and an understanding of how to learn.

  13. Innovation-Diffusion Process: Research • Developers base improvements on feedback of users.

  14. Innovation-Diffusion Process: Development • Different methods of development used for different applications and sites. • Release early and often method uses customer collaboration to improve product. Product is released to a group that gives feedback, which is used to make improvements (Vossen & Hagemann, 2007).

  15. Innovation-Diffusion Process: Commercialization • Web 2.0 tools can be found through web searches. • Resources are shared through word of mouth.

  16. Early Adopters • Who? • Teachers already using technology • Technology leaders (TECH mentors) • Teachers with ready access to technology (computers/Internet) • Strategies to Convince • Easy to use • Can be used on experimental basis

  17. Later Adopters • Who? • Teachers set in their ways • Teacher not open to change until they see benefits for themselves • Less technologically savvy individuals • Strategies to Convince • Can be used on experimental basis – can be used as frequently/infrequently as comfortable

  18. How to Meet Critical Mass? • Trialability • Web 2.0 provides a variety of different tools with endless possibilities for use and integration. Teachers can explore and try the tools they feel will be most beneficial. Since many of the tools are free, they can use them as much or as little as they would like. • Relative Advantage • Using Web 2.0 for students to create products and discuss concepts and learning can lead to higher level thinking and a deeper understanding of content. The tools may help make learning relevant to students.

  19. Complexity • Web 2.0 tools are generally easy to use. Teachers less comfortable with technology may stick to easier tools initially.
