This semester I am researching the diffusion of the iPad.

Week 2 Paper 

Here is my first storyboard. I am going to be developing a video using iMovie and use narration and video to convey the message. These are my initial ideas:

After reviewing my teammates' work and receiving valuable feedback, I have redeveloped my storyboard to include more specific information related to the diffusion research:

10/6/11: I have continued to develop my storyboard. This week I have researched several videos that I feel currently convey my message in a powerful way. It is my goal to use these videos to guide my own directing as I begin to record my own video. Because of the size of my file, I have decided to house my storyboard at my own website. Please download and view there.

10/13/11: This week I continued to add more information to my storyboard. I am struggling with the videos that I have embedded in the storyboard, but I know that when I go to develop this video on iMovie everything should work. Please hang in there teammates I promise you will see the videos soon! I am also still working on finding a good image to support the S-Curve of the iPad. I have located some interesting information that suggests that the iPad did not follow an S-curve and may very well be changing the diffusion of innovation model we are currently studying. Thoughts?

Not an S-Curve?

10/20/11: I have continued to update my storyboard. Today I shot some video for my project. my goal is to begin moving everything into iMovie in order to begin the finishing up my video. I also added some diffusion graphs which show that the iPad is not following the tradition S-Curve diffusion rate.

I am continuing to shoot video for my final project. My students are in love with the fact they are helping me with my homework! This week I am addressing our questions on the wiki rather than my powerpoint:


 * Do you believe a centralized or decentralized approach would work best for the adoption of the innovation you are proposing to the Board of Directors?
 * IPads will work in either situations. However, I strongly believe that the most effective program would involve a centralized approach so that apps can be purchased and the technology will not be abused or neglected.
 * Who will you recommend as key change agents in your organization, and how can the seven roles of a change agent be used in your organization to effect positive social change?
 * Ideally, I think that our school district will need to hire a technology integrationist at the district level as well as work toward having tech specialist at each school. This will ensure a proper diffusion of the iPads. Tech specialists can help teachers implement iPads into their daily instruction as well as provide tech help and professional development.
 * Has the innovation you are proposing to the Board already met critical mass in society? If it has not met critical mass, which of the four strategies for achieving critical mass do you recommend to the Board for your innovation?
 * The iPad has met critical mass in society.

Again, my storyboard is a zip file located on my Weebly since it is too large to upload on Wikispaces. Sorry for the inconvenience.

11/3/11: I have begun transferring my storyboard to iMovie. I'm about half way done. Here is what I have so far. Let me know what you think.
