Notes

Abstract: Nearly a decade after the iPad was introduced, studies have demonstrated iPads’ usefulness as an educational tool, yet little research has focused on the concerns of the teacher to explain technology acceptance. Framed by the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM), this chapter reports the findings of a two-year case study of how one first-grade teacher in a Florida charter school with 1:1 iPads progresses through stages of concerns and levels of use to achieve technological innovation. Data was systematically collected using monthly video chats and a dialogue journal, which included student work artifacts, documented in a private blog. Findings inform technology integration practices and emphasize the importance of acknowledging change concerns associated with technology acceptance. By assessing where teachers lie on the continuum of concerns and use, schools can create technology integration plans that can guide teachers through their own stages of concern and use levels. Future research in additional contexts with a larger sample to refine technology integration practices that align with the CBAM model is recommended.
