Hi Group! Please click on this link, and then you simply need to click on the slideshow icon in the upperleft corner and you can view the video version of my PowerPoint Slideshow with my narration in the background, This is a PowerPoint video, and you can view it in this file. This version also enables you to view my image credits and references before you view the video, which is why I chose it. Thank you.-Devonee Hi DiffusionofTechnology2013 members, Click below to view my final slideshow before the final presentation. Please give me feedback. Thanks, Devonee

 **Soft Chalk**, this is an innovation which allows instructors to create and manage a multi-media online environment, to customize and personalize content, to combine personal teaching materials with media, interactive exercises, quizzes and text. This allows for a seamless and easily managed collage of the instructor's personalized content, embedded assessment, student interaction, and immediate student feedback. This innovation would be easy to adopt because it is allows for instructors to quickly design a dynamic, multimedia curriculum online. There is a cost, and barriers would be the compatibility this innovation has with the instructors platform. The potential for success is high because it would allow for instructors to save time in designing a highly interactive online learning curriculum. (Annual Conference on Distance Teaching and Learning. (n.d.). Retrieved from [] ) • **Mobile Devices** such as Nexus 10, 10 Inch Tablet from Google or Ipad. With this innovation students are enabled to design, shoot, edit and share curriculum-based movies as well as write and Interact with teachers and students. Blogging with these devices, for instance, allows for real time assessment and feedback from peers and instructors. This innovation would be easy to adopt because it is widely accepted by students, usable across the board in multiple curricula, and reaching a point of collective acceptance in society. The only barriers to adopting this technology in the classroom environment would be cost and cultural barriers within a given educational community. (International Society for Technology in Education. (n.d.). Retrieved from []<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> ) <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> • **Green/Blue Screen Software:** This innovation, when applied in the classroom, enables students to create curriculum-based videos which will motivate, enhance and improve student learning through their creative involvement in all aspects of creating a video. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> This innovation would be difficult to adopt because it requires special purchases of green/blue screen technology devices, special training for each teacher using this technology, and barriers would include a financial investment on the part of the district that may or may not be more justifiable than other purchases. (International Society for Technology in Education. (n.d.). Retrieved from []<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> ). <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Mobile Devices, such as Smartphones or Tablets in the classroom is an innovation that will be easily adopted by studtoryboents because mobile devices have reached a point of critical mass acceptance in our society. The elements aiding diffusion and this innovation’s potential for success: innovation is an obvious benefit of this because it allow for students themselves to be innovators. Here are main benefits: 1. Access to communication among students and instructor are convenient with this device. 2. Students can be assessed in real time through feedback from their peers and from teachers with mobile devices as an educational tool. One barrier, other than cost, are the existing social systems that resist this innovation because of fear or lack of education about the benefits and multiple uses of these devices. The students themselves will not resist this technology, but the teachers and decision-makers might. The risks, however, involved in using these devices are not worth resisting, and can be minimized through the use of resources such as instructor monitored ‘kid blogs” which make safety and control managable. Additionally, this innovation, such the IPad for today's classroom, provides opportunities for curriculum-based learning, and many opportunities within the Language Arts curriculum such as student blogging, film-making for presentations online and in the classroom and endless opportunities for collaboration and information gathering. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> One recent research study on Ipad use in the classroom reported positive student experiences, and these researches noted that much of the success of this technology in the classroom is dependent on the instructor. The use of this innovation will change the role of the instructor, requiring the ability of the instructor to be flexible and to evolve with this changing role (Rossing, Miller, & Cecil 2012). <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Green/blue screen technologies, while exciting, will be difficult for public schools to adopt simply because of the cost to invest in such a specific technology. This is innovation is specific to movie making by and for students, and there are other options for movie-making in the classroom. This is why I did not choose this innovation to focus on for my final project. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Soft Chalk: while is an innovation allowing instructors to construct and manage a multi-media online environment, is also a bit too narrow to focus on for the remainder of this course. I might be interested in using this technology if I become an online instructor, however, this is not something that I want to recommend for diffusion in the field of literacy in education more than the use of mobile devices in the classroom. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Rogers (2003) explains that the adoption of an innovation, such as the mobile device in the classroom, will need to reach a critical mass, and based on the findings of the research of Rossing, Miller, & Cecil (2012), this is or will, in the very near future, be attained.
