Useful paper that examines issues related to techers' adoption of technology. It examines an earlier model where teachers begin as learners, eventually reaching a point where they reaffirm (or reject) the technology and become technology leaders. But many teachers, after learning, were simply rejecting technology. The authors conclude that instead of a simple path toward acceptance, three critical process must also be in place: (a) convergence of resources, providing a starting point for the change; (b) mutual benefits to those who are affected by the changes taking place; and (c) continuous, extensive free flow of resources and expertise throughout the system to fuel its sustainability.
