  2. Need

  3. Research

  4. Development Some early problems consisted of low- speed modems and early versions of operating systems that were slow and had little graphics capability. The innovation of the smart board was initially geared for the education sector as a way to replace the chalkboard.

  5. Commercialization SMART Boards were introduced in 1991. Its primary goal was to promote student- centered learning in classrooms with the use of technology.

  6. The Innovation Decision Process • Stage 1: Knowledge - 1987 • Stage2: Persuasion - 1990 • Stage 3: Decision - 1991 • Stage 4: Implementation - 1991 • Stage 5: Confirmation – 2000 For more information please click on the following link http://www.xtimeline.com/timeline/SMART-Board-Inventors

  7. Timeline of the SMART Board

  8. S-Curve for SMART Board

  9. Early Adopters K12 environment

  10. Laggards • Veterans teachers who are set in their ways • Teachers who don’t like change and technology • In order to help them move toward this innovation, professional development and training classes should be offered.

  11. Attributes for Adopting the SMART Board • Observability (allow teachers to observe others teachers who have been using the innovation for a while) • Trialability (allow teachers to pilot the innovation inside their classroom)

  12. Decentralized Approach Decentralized diffusion systems are “client- controlled, with a wide sharing of power and control among the members of the diffusion system” (Rogers, 2003,pg. 401)

  13. Change Agents • Educators • Media Specialists • Local School Technology Specialist (LSTC)

  14. Roles of Change Agent Seven Roles of Change Agent • Develop a need for change • Establish an information-exchange relationship • Diagnose problems • Create an intent to change • Translate intentions into action • Stabilize adoption • Achieve a terminal relationship (Rogers, 2003, pg. 400)

  15. Critical Mass “Critical mass occurs at the point at which enough individuals in a system have adopted an innovation so that the innovation’s further rate of adoption becomes self-sustaining” (Rogers, 2003, pg. 363)

  16. SMART Board in Action

  17. Need for SMART Board

  18. Matching the Need • Within any organization, the innovation champion is needed to ensure that the innovation is adopted. • Matching the innovation to the needs of the organization is the only way that the innovation can be adopted.

  19. SMART Board Training

  20. Video on SMART Board Learning Attached is a video clip of a teacher using a smart board.
