Teachers experiment with new instructional patterns and ways of relating to students and other teachers. They reflect on teaching and question old patterns of instruction. Teachers begin to see knowledge as something students must construct rather than something to be transferred. Interdisciplinary project-based instruction, team teaching, and individually paced instruction are hallmarks of this phase. Classroom interactions change. Student experts surface to assist their peers and teachers with technology. Students work together in more collaborative ways. To support teachers at this level, advocate collaboration between teachers and en-courage teachers to write about and publish their experiences.When teachers move into the adoption phase, they begin to show more concern about how technology can be integrated into daily lesson plans. Traditional whole-group lecture and seat work still dominate instructional strategies. Nevertheless, technology is now being used to teach children how to use technology. Common activities include keyboarding, word-processing, or drill-and- practice activities. Teachers begin to anticipate problems and develop strategies to solve them.
