Innovators and Early Adopters College Students Administrators Lead Teachers Mentors K-12 Students The Laggards Those who wait and watch Limited resources Those reluctant to try any innovation Strategies for Laggards Lower prices Required job/school innovation Availability Television commercials Attributes for Critical Mass Required use Wider distribution K-12 necessity Administrative benefits Business presentation and benefits Where does it go from here? My plan is to use real people using the Smart pen in real situations and to video them with specific dialogue showing the usefulness of this innovation. Please give me ideas and feedback. The images I plan to use will be those I find and document or those I create. I am continuing to locate documentation for this innovation. I have found some clips (news and commercials) that I would like to embed along with my original items.
