1. L. Martin Diffusion of Technology

2. Where there’s a Need… Note-taking at the next level Assistive technology for disabled. Diagnostic testing Data collection

3. Research How was the pen used during research? The chart shows early uses. The maker of Leapfrog is the innovator.

4. Development LeapFrog System The camera Microphone Speaker USB Connector MyScribe software with 25 languages Handwriting recognition Voice recording Special Paper controllers Uploading to computer Share notes Blogs

5. Commercialization NeverNever miss a word! Always get it! Share it! $129.99 -$199.99 at Target, Best Buy and the Apple Store!

6. Where in the innovation- decision is the Smart Pen? Knowledge-Who knows about it? Persuasion- Who must be persuaded? Decision- Who will make the choice to adopt or reject? Implementation- Who will actually use it and for what purposes? Confirmation- Is this a good thing? Is this a fad? How long will it last? Will it be discontinued?

7. Where does it go from here? My plan is to use real people using the Smart pen in real situations and to video them with specific dialogue showing the usefulness of this innovation. Please give me ideas and feedback. The images I plan to use will be those I find and document or those I create. I am continuing to locate documentation for this innovation. I have found some clips (news and commercials) that I would like to embed along with my original items.
