Two more items for bibliography


I, Sahin, Detailed review of Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory and educational technology-related studies based on Rogers' theory, The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET April 2006 ISSN: 1303-6521 volume 5 issue 2 Article 3

Description:
This looks at the four main elements in the diffusion of innovations. It also details the innovation-decision process and the stages within this which are: 
  • The knowledge stage
  • The persuasion stage
  • The decision stage
  • The implementation stage
  • The confirmation stage
There is also relative advantage and rate of adoption with stages detailed as well.



 Evaluation:
This was a very interesting read, there is a lot of useful information throughout but most of it that will be useful for my topic is centered around the innovation-decision process within the stages.


Department of Education, Training and Employment, Queensland Government. (2012). iPads in Special Education (trial report). Retrieved from http://education.qld.gov.au/smartclassrooms/enterprise-platform/elab/ipads/trials.html
