What is Implementation?

Implementation is the actual application of the innovation.


Purpose of Implementation?

The purpose of implementation is to successfully streamline a new innovation into already established organization or environment.


What is Implementation?Diffusion is "the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system" (Rogers, 2003, p. 10).


8 Conditions that Facilitate Implementation

1. Dissatisfaction with the status quo.2. Knowledge and skills exist. 3. Availability of resources. 4. Availability of time. 5. Rewards and/or incentives exist. 6. Participation. 7. Commitment.8. Leadership.

(Donald Ely, 1999)Sunday, November 10, 13

Purpose of InstitutionalizationThe purpose of institutionalization and its process is “for a successful innovation is that it is routinely used in settings for which it was designed. It has become integral to the organization or the social system and is no longer considered to be an innovation” (Surry and Ely, n.d.).


6 Indicators of Institutionalization1. Acceptance by relevant participants--a perception

that the innovation legitimately belongs2. The innovation is stable and routinized3. Widespread use of the innovation throughout the

institution or organization4. Firm expectation that use of the practice and/or

product will continue within the institution or organization

5. Continuation does not depend upon the actions of specific individuals but upon the organizational culture, structure or procedures

6. Routine allocations of time and money.


Innovation Decision Process

Five stages:1. Knowledge2. Persuasion3. Decision4. Implementation 5. Confirmation


Stages of the Diffusion Process1) Knowledge – person becomes aware of an

innovation and has some idea of how it functions.2) Persuasion – person forms a favorable or

unfavorable attitude toward the innovation.3) Decision – person engages in activities that lead

to a choice to adopt or reject the innovation.4) Implementation – person puts an innovation

into use.5) Confirmation – person evaluates the results of

an innovation-decision already made.

Implementation and Institutionalization of Innovations at Bullard Elementary

Bullard Elementary School is dedicated to helping its teachers to feel comfortable in the presence of students using technology and seeks to have its teachers be able to streamline technology into the curriculum. The goal is to do this while implementing and Institutionalizing innovations and trends in the education field that can best impact student learning and support 21st century skills.


Bullard Elementary’s Strengths & Weaknesses

StrengthsState exemplary campus.Wide variety of technology available (Smart Boards, iPads, document cameras, projectors, Mac labs etc.).Just in time support from the technical support teamSome required staff development.Clear Expectations from Elementary campus administration.


Bullard Elementary’s Strengths & Weaknesses WeaknessesLack of teacher buy-in.Lack of year round technology staff development.Lack of a variety of technology training available.Only one instructional technology specialist for all five campuses.Inconsistent technology expectations from campus to campus.Unused technology due to lack of teacher buy-in.


Specific Problem


The Problem at Bullard ElementaryThe main problem at Bullard Elementary is the lack streamlined integration of technology into the curriculum. One major contributing factor is how technology is being implemented and institutionalized at the school which is resulting in the lack of teacher adoption or buy-in to the integration of technology and 21st century skills into the classroom.


Implementation and Institutionalization of Innovations

Alternatives and Future Strategies


Alternatives and StrategiesIDT to Develop alternative and Strategies that meet the AECT Standards for Implementation and Institutionalization:

3.3.1 Use appropriate instructional materials and strategies in various learning contexts.

Develop a 21st Century team of teachers to drive technology from the ground level. Develop and implement an online Moodle course for the district where teachers can go for tutorials, lesson ideas, and resources that contains strategies and appropriate ways to use instructional technology in a 21st century classroom. Create an online forum to discuss new and upcoming innovations, classroom strategies, and instructional ideas should be implemented.



3.3.2 Identify and apply techniques for integrating ECIT innovations in various learning contexts.

IDT to meet weekly or bi-weekly with each grade level to answer questions and model techniques for integrating innovations into the classroom. Design a process for implementation and document the

process on paper or electronically for teachers. Provide a weekly newsletter with tech tips on new

innovations and simple quick ideas for implementation.



3.3.3 Identify strategies to maintain use after initial adoption.

Develop a blueprint for growth and expectations. Design a system of consistent and on-going staff developments on use of the technology and classroom integration.


ConclusionBullard Elementary needs to begin seamlessly integrating technology into everyday curriculum by focusing on the the five steps of the Diffusion of innovation model. The model can also be used to help teachers become aware of new innovations, attempt a personal trial with the innovation, in the end adopt the innovation would be the goal. Only when innovations are implemented and a system is in place to support institutionalization can instruction can be consistently innovative, resulting in teacher buy in and seamless integration of technology in the classroom.
