  1. Diffusion of InnovationMultimedia Presentation Interactive Whiteboards Charee Hampton EDUC 7101-2 Dr. Henry Pratt Walden University

  2. Need In 1986, David Martin developed a product idea in which he shares with his business partner, Nancy Knowlton. The idea was to design a product that would replace the chalkboard inside the classroom.

  3. Research Martin and Knowlton development consisted of a whiteboard, computer, and a LCD projector. The development of this innovation would enhance the way people work and learn. Intel Corporation funded the development of the innovation.

  4. Development Some early problems consisted of low- speed modems and early versions of operating systems that were slow and had little graphics capability. The innovation of the smart board was initially geared for the education sector as a way to replace the chalkboard.

  5. Commercialization SMART Boards were introduced in 1991. Its primary goal was to promote student- centered learning in classrooms with the use of technology.

  6. Video on Smart board Learning Attached is a video clip about smart boards.

  7. S-Curve for Smart board

  8. Early Adopters • K12 environment • The uses and benefits of the innovation will convince the adoption of the Smart board.

  9. Laggards • Veterans teachers who are set in their ways • Teachers who don’t like change and technology • In order to help them move toward this innovation, I think professional development and training classes should be offered.

  10. Attributes for Adopting the Smart board • Observability (allow teachers to observe others teachers who have been using the innovation for a while) • Trialability (allow teachers to pilot the innovation inside their classroom)

  11. Decentralized Approach • According to Rogers (2003) decentralized diffusion systems are “client-controlled, with a wide sharing of power and control among the members of the diffusion system” (pg. 401)

  12. Change Agents • Educators • Media Specialists • Local School Technology Specialist (LSTC)

  13. Roles of Change Agent Seven Roles of Change Agent • Develop a need for change • Establish an information-exchange relationship • Diagnose problems • Create an intent to change • Translate intentions into action • Stabilize adoption • Achieve a terminal relationship (Rogers, 2003, pg. 400)

  14. Critical Mass Critical mass has been met “Critical mass occurs at the point at which enough individuals in a system have adopted an innovation so that the innovation’s further rate of adoption becomes self-sustaining” (Rogers, 2003, pg. 363)/

  15. Need for Smart board • An innovation that will meet the needs of all students regardless of their diverse backgrounds. • Within any organization, the innovation champion is needed to ensure that the innovation is adopted. • Matching the innovation to the needs of the organization is the only way that the innovation can be adopted.
