BASIC & CURRENT RESEARCH REVIEW 5/14/2018 Blasi & Alfonso (2006) stated the impact of technology on education must include consideration of the context and student traits. Clark (2005) discovered that technology could be used to enhance the learning process. Glover et al. (2007) study demonstrated that pedagogy style and the use of certain technologies has to blend in order to impact educational experiences. V. Mitchell-Stevens Wohlwend (2009) conducted a 3 year study determine that children are early adopters of technology because they are willing to play with new media.

Teachers are the innovators INNOVATION PROCESS Teachers are the innovators Students in the innovators classes would be early adopters. Innovation Strategy Provide a pilot trial study using one classroom. Use a simple language arts lesson for collaborations between teacher-student, and student-student. Solicit feedback using interviews and questionnaires after 1 month of use. Produce a video clip showing teachers and students engaged in collaboration using the iPad 2. 5/14/2018 V. Mitchell-Stevens

INNOVATION PROCESS Innovation Strategy (Continued) Share the results of pilot study at N. J. State Teachers Conference and show the video clip. Recruit other language arts teachers to adopt the integration of iPad 2 in lesson plan. Show new teachers how to use them. Collect qualitative and quantitative data of frequency of use, number of teachers/students using them and if they are used for other subjects. Analyze the data and share the results at the Regional Teachers Conference with the video clip. The laggards are teachers who currently do not use PCs. Have teachers who are using iPad 2 mentor the laggard teachers. 5/14/2018 V. Mitchell-Stevens

Monitor the laggard teachers use of iPad 2 and frequency of use. INNOVATION PROCESS 5/14/2018 Innovation Strategy (Continued) Share the results of the pilot study and the expanded study with the laggard teachers. Provide a video clip on teachers and students collaborations using the iPad 2 so that the laggard teachers can observe. Monitor the laggard teachers use of iPad 2 and frequency of use. Interview laggard teachers for feedback and new ideas. The attributes that provide mass adoption are relative advantage, trialability and observability. Publish the studies in the Journal of Educational Technology. V. Mitchell-Stevens

FINAL IPAD2 INNOVATION ASSESSMENT We are funded by the State of New Jersey – Lack of technology improvements will eliminate that funding. Reduction in student attendance – Reduces state funding. Current program operations – Dissatisfies parents because there are too many books to carry. iPad 2 Early Adoption – Eliminates all of the above. Educational institutions receive 50% reduction on product cost from Apple. Students are eager and motivated to own the iPad 2 PC Tablet. All textbooks required are preloaded in eBooks each year. No textbook storage area required. All parent/teacher conferences performed using iPad 2 video conference services, which takes these meeting to the next level. 5/14/2018 V. Mitchell-Stevens
