Centralized or Decentralized Approach • A decentralized approach would work best for the adoption of the interactive whiteboard (IW). The IW has already shown that the power and control of the innovation has been shared between the different members involved with the diffusion process (Rogers, 2003). The innovation started with one man, who quickly involved many other people. The early adopters, which were early and secondary school teachers, helped the diffusion process by showing the benefits or problems of the IW with their peers (Rogers, 2003).
Change Agents • The key change agents will be two teachers in each department, who have volunteered to receive an IW and training on how to use it. The teachers who get the Iws will have different roles during this process. The first role will be to show other teachers that they need to use the IW. They will be demonstrating the different things that can be done with the IW. The two teachers in each department that receive an IW will go through extensive training, so they can hold small sessions to show the other teachers how to use them. This is also a role of the change agents. By demonstrating the innovation, after enough training to be competent at using the IW, many of the other teachers will look up to these teachers as knowing about the innovation. They will feel comfortable putting trust with them about the innovation.
Critical Mass • The diffusion of the Interactive Whiteboard has already met critical mass. According to sales, it looks like critical mass was reached in 2002.
