CONCEPTS

Moore’s Technology Adoption Life Cycle (1999, p. 17) This simple bell-shape curve denotes the stages of innovation adoption.

The gap between early adopter and early majority suggests an adoption barrier.

The Product and Process Innovation Curves. As product innovations decrease, process innovations increase.

How do you use technology? SAMR

Substitution - replace the chalkboard with a projector and screen Augmentation - add an online component to your text

Modification - after writing a poem, students will record it with their own voices

Redefinition - change an objective assessment to a student created blog
