Adoption
|
Uses some
applications to automate everyday tasks (word processing, gradebook). Accepts
work done by students on computers but does not use in teaching. |
Computer is
on in classroom; fewer questions and dependency. However, is just learning
how the technology can be used in teaching and learning. |

Adaptation
|
Beginning
to present information with technology (AW slide show, PowerPoint). Lessons
include student use of technology. |
Technology
is used for student projects (themes, reports). |
|
Appropriation
|
Classroom
may be arranged differently to accommodate technology. Teaching is more project
based. Different applications are used to prepare and present information
(spreadsheet, database). |
Students are
more actively engaged in the learning process instead of being passive learners;
students doing more projects requiring technology (multimedia, digital cameras,
integrated applications) |
|
Innovation
|
Teachers are
discovering new ways to use the technology in learning activities. Students
are taking more responsibility for their own learning. Multiple strategies
are used for assessment, |
Students and
teachers have confidence to experiment and develop alternative strategies
to use the technology. Teacher is more of a facilitator and students are active
learners. |
