  18. iPads in Education Categories of Adopters • Innovators (venturesome) – “Their interest in new ideas leads them out of a local circle of peer networks and into more cosmopolite social relationships” (Rogers, 2003, pg. 282). • Early Adopters (respect) – “Are a more integrated part of the local social system than are innovators” (pg. 283). • Early Majority (deliberate) – “Adopt new ideas just before the average member of a system” (pg. 283). • Late Majority (skeptical) – “Adopt new ideas just after the average member of a system” (pg. 284). • Laggards (traditional) – “The last in a social system to adopt an innovation” (pg. 284).
