The document outlines the need for sustainable change in education through the integration of technology in teaching and learning. It emphasizes the importance of involving teachers in the decision-making process regarding technological innovations and presents a five-step innovation process for successful implementation. The central theme is that innovation in education must go beyond technology and focus on transforming teaching methods to better engage students.

- 5. This is the time between timesfor educators working with technology.Beforemobile, ubiquitous and ‘everywhere’computing become the visible norm, but aftera time when educators could sit back and wait for the digital revolution to pass on by- John Nalderhttp://ulearning.edublogs.org/
- 6. technology is no longer a choice
- 7. ICTs bring with them a whole wealth of engagement and educational opportunities but we can’t blindly accept them without challenging their role within education.

- 10. Photo: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1182265Are our students satisfied with…how often they use computers for learning in class?the opportunities to make use of online learning environments?the way they are using ICT for learning at school?
- 11. Are our teachers satisfied with…the opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills in making ICT integral to learning?their access to appropriate ICT to do their job?the school enhancing eLearning opportunities for students by providing additional infrastructure, devices and/or software?
- 12. We needed to develop a model to shift ICT practices within the school

- 20. All of these models seemed to lacked sustainability
- 21. What were we doing wrong?Staff were willingly coming to Professional DevelopmentSome staff were actively using the ICTs in their classrooms (a bit)However, any small changes and innovations were very localised and “once offs”
- 22. What were we doing wrong?We were making decisions about technology based upon what we thought the school neededWe were trying to be innovative “on behalf” of the teachersThe teachers needed to be involved in the decision process
- 23. “Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.”Bill GatesChairman of Microsoft
- 24. We needed a new model for creating sustainable change.
- 25. We needed a new model that included the teacher in the decision process.
- 26. Diffusion of Innovations is a theory that seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread through cultures.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations
- 27. Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system(Rogers, 1983. p. 11)
- 28. Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system(Rogers, 1983. p. 11)Innovation: an idea, practice, or object that is perceived as new by an individual or other unit of adoption
- 29. Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system(Rogers, 1983. p. 11)Innovation: an idea, practice, or object that is perceived as new by an individual or other unit of adoptionCommunication Channels: the means by which messages get from one individual to another

- 32. Fivestep innovation processKnowledgeIn this stage the individual is first exposed to an innovation but lacks information about the innovation.
- 33. Fivestep innovation processPersuasionIn this stage the individual is interested in the innovation and actively seeks information/detail about the innovation.
- 34. Fivestep innovation processDecisionIn this stage the individual takes the concept of the innovation and weighs the advantages/disadvantages of using the innovation and decides whether to adopt or reject the innovation.
- 35. Fivestep innovation processImplementationIn this stage the individual employs the innovation to a varying degree depending on the situation. During this stage the individual determines the usefulness of the innovation and may search for further information about it.
- 36. Fivestep innovation processConfirmationAlthough the name of this stage may be misleading, in this stage the individual finalizes his/her decision to continue using the innovation and may use the innovation to its fullest potential.

- 79. How do we measure success?
- 80. innovation is only innovation if it is adopted
- 81. innovation is only innovation if it is adoptedThe rate of adoption is defined as: the relative speed with which members of a social system adopt an innovation (Rogers 1962, p. 134)
- 82. innovation is only innovation if it is adoptedWithin the rate of adoption there is a point at which an innovation reaches critical mass. This is a point in time within the adoption curve that enough individuals have adopted an innovation in order that the continued adoption of the innovation is self-sustaining.
