Aim of thestudy This study handles time element of DoI and investigates Web 2.0 awareness of preservice teachers based on innovation-decision process within a longitudinal perspective. Innovation Decision Process Stages “No awareness” “Knowledge” “Implementation” “Confirmation” Web 2.0 Technologies social networks, learning management systems, search engines, blogs, podcasts and wikis
InnovationDecisionProcessStages “The innovation-decision process is 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)
InnovationDecisionProcessStages No awareness
InnovationDecisionProcessStages It is aimed to provide findings related web 2.0 adoption processes by determining which of the technologies are at the beginning or end of their diffusion process.

MethodStudyGroup The study group comprised of 140 students (73.5% female, 26.5% male) studying at teacher education programs of a public university. The data were collected in two phases in the year 2009 and 2011 from the same preservice teachers. Genders Across to the Education Programs

Conclusion As observed in thestudy; thediffusion of an innovationmaydifferaccordingtoeachtechnology. Within two years; the percentages of awareness in all web 2.0 technologies are increased.
Conclusion TheDiffusionProcess Nearly completed.
Conclusion TheDiffusionProcess Critical mass has been exceeded.
Conclusion TheDiffusionProcess Progressing slowly.
FutureStudies Social Networks The future studies about the reasons of these differences may contribute to DoI theory. In addition, technology characteristics and individual expectations should be matched with concrete proposals for solutions, because of the possible impact of these characteristics and expectations to the diffusion of technologies.

FutureStudies Social Networks Thus web 2.0 technologies have positive effects on learning and interaction, future studies in educational context could Search Engines determine the advantages and disadvantages of technologies that have slow diffusion process. Wiki In addition to these researches it is needed to be investigated LMS Podcasts how to provide awareness about unknown technologies which could help the actors of the educational system. Blogs
