Getting Rid of Bullies

ACOT Stages: the long version Entry Teacher is learning the basics of a technology, e.g., how to set up equipment and operate it. Adoption Teacher begins to use the technology in management areas, e.g., computer generated quizzes or worksheets, gradebooks. Adaptation Teacher begins to use software to support instruction, e.g., a commercially produced content area program or productivity tools (word processor, data base) Appropriation Teacher begins to focus on collaborative, project-based technology use and technology becomes one of several instructional tools. Invention Teacher begins to develop different uses for technology, e.g., creates projects that combine two or more technologies.
