Why Web 2.0?
• allows students to be both learner and
teacher (Rogers, Liddle, Chan, Doxey, Isom,
2007)
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).
• “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.
Innovation-Diffusion Process:
Research
• Developers base improvements on feedback
of users.
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).
Innovation-Diffusion Process:
Commercialization
• Web 2.0 tools can be found through web
searches.
• Resources are shared through word of mouth.
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
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
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.
• Complexity
– Web 2.0 tools are generally easy to use. Teachers
less comfortable with technology may stick to
easier tools initially.
