5 Stages of Technology Adoption

 This kind of rapid growth in schools around the world is painful and inevitable. I'm talking, of course, almost far-reaching integration. Maybe your beauty is using a COW (Computer on Wheels) cart once a week or maybe every student in your school is holding an iPad and the directors are throwing around the horrible phrase "gong paperless". have been. 

Whatever the extent of technology integration, it seems that we are all in the realm of transition to new technology at any moment. The painful reality, though, is that no matter how many expert development sessions we get or how much equipment we are given, many adults fight to adapt to the new age. 

We are fully aware of the new college technique that our college students will hack the media and turn it into their deviant use before we as teachers learn to show the device online. The solution to this problem is simple. It's time to dump her and move on. We want to jump on the bandwagon of panic, fear and mistrust, with the intention of advancing in the race for the covenant.

Overcome the fear of new technology.

Unlike the five stages of loss and grief, all and sundry (no longer just adults) go through a series of expected reactions to new technology. Knowing that those stages are the same for everyone and that it's not just you towards the world, you can start moving faster than degrees. You can learn to obey the leadership of your college students and turn fear into joy and ultimately recognition.

Step 1 - Denial

As instructors, we work hard to improve our skills. From year to month, we make small changes to our curriculum, our lesson plans, and our classroom control system to maximize our usefulness. Therefore, it can feel like a real shock when the organizers announce a sudden and extensive trade, 

which includes paperless instructions, and 1: 1 Generation Integration (in which each student works on one device). , Whether it's a laptop, tablet, or not (maybe their cell phone). Many teachers will enjoy the automated response to information. The popular answer is "It won't work anyway!"

This seems to be a regular reaction to the new technology. Even children, who seem resilient and fascinated with each new wave of technological advancement, go through initial uncertainties. The key to success is simply to accept that you will feel angry and scared. 

This is a daily thing. Just acknowledging your concern allows you to move faster through this section. The rest of the aspect you want is to control the anxiety and allow the paralysis to develop. "I'm worried and I don't like it." But don't stop there. Take things in stride and try not focus too much on the problem.

Step 2 - Bargaining

"They can put it in my study, but they can't force me to use it!" You may want to inform yourself that you will at least study. You will use this period during an important observation of your beauty, or you will use it within the first week of school and then set it aside and go back to your daily routine, demonstrations, routines. Bargaining is definitely not a scary factor in this situation. 

This will definitely clear the way for the new tool to be used. Even race fanatics will say, "I'll try to use it, but if it doesn't paint for me, I won't pursue it any more." As a trainer, let yourself know that you can give technology a try. If you do not like it, you can use it as little as possible, but you are at least allowing yourself to try it without a strong sense of danger.

Step 3 - Experiment

Success is the key to adopting technology. This is a symbolic turning point in your mindset as a distant user. Once you allow yourself to experiment with this era and actually start clicking on it (whether it's a brand new tool with the iPad or a brand new internet site like Edmodo.Com) It is only through experience that one can achieve one's success. Fear

You can hit a roadblock while experimenting with a brand new generation. Your frustration may increase, your anxiety may flare up again, but don't let it stop you. Trust that you will no longer damage the device just by clicking on it. You can always reboot, restart, or reload. Find a help button, user guide, or maybe YouTube tutorial movies that allow you to overcome these obstacles. As you experience, keep your mind open and find whatever is exciting or beneficial to you.

Step 4- Excitement

More often than not, experimenting with a new tool will cause teachers to get excited about applying for their school room. Teachers are innovative and progressive people using their nature. We always look at the content.
