Aim of thestudy Thisstudyhandles time element of DoIandinvestigatesWeb 2.0 awareness of preserviceteachersbased on innovation-decisionprocesswithin a longitudinalperspective. • InnovationDecisionProcessStages • “No awareness” • “Knowledge” • “Implementation” • “Confirmation” Web 2.0 Technologies • social networks, learning management systems, search engines, blogs, podcasts and wikis
InnovationDecisionProcessStages “Theinnovation-decisionprocessis the process through which an individual passes from first knowledge of an innovation, to forming an attitude toward the innovation, to a decision to adopt or reject, to implementation of the new idea, and to confirmation of this decision.” (Rogers2003, p.12). TheInnovationDecisionProcess (Rogers, 2003)

Conclusion • Social Network Based on DoItheory, theinnovation-decisionprocesscouldalso be investigatedwithin a moresimplebinaryclassification as “awareness” and “noawareness”.
Conclusion • Blog Based on DoItheory, theinnovation-decisionprocesscouldalso be investigatedwithin a moresimplebinaryclassification as “awareness” and “noawareness”.
Conclusion • Learning Management System Based on DoItheory, theinnovation-decisionprocesscouldalso be investigatedwithin a moresimplebinaryclassification as “awareness” and “noawareness”.
Conclusion • SearchEngines Based on DoItheory, theinnovation-decisionprocesscouldalso be investigatedwithin a moresimplebinaryclassification as “awareness” and “noawareness”.
Conclusion • Wiki Based on DoItheory, theinnovation-decisionprocesscouldalso be investigatedwithin a moresimplebinaryclassification as “awareness” and “noawareness”.
Conclusion • Podcast Based on DoItheory, theinnovation-decisionprocesscouldalso be investigatedwithin a moresimplebinaryclassification as “awareness” and “noawareness”.
Conclusion As observed in thestudy; thediffusion of an innovationmaydifferaccordingtoeachtechnology. Withintwoyears; thepercentages of awareness in all web 2.0 technologiesareincreased.
Conclusion TheDiffusionProcess Nearlycompleted.
Conclusion TheDiffusionProcess Critical mass has beenexceeded.
Conclusion TheDiffusionProcess Progressingslowly.
