Abstract:

The pleasures and problems associated with being an innovator or early adopter (Rogers 1983) of a new technology as a teacher don’t seem to have changed much since Bohlen and Beal (1957) categorised their technology adoption lifecycle at Iowa State College in 1957. Although their context was farmers’ seed purchases, their findings resonate with me as an eportfolio teacher and researcher – I too have been rejected by ‘conservative neighbors’ and I have, at times, had to travel many miles to find like-minded practitioners.

 

I am now in my 5th year as an eportfolio teacher and researcher. My presentation, by eportfolio, will explore the lessons learnt through sometimes moving forward slowly and sometimes taking high-stakes risks.
