Technology Adoption in Education

Some time ago, I wrote a thesis on the Adoption of Technology in Education. When discussing this various players, I realised that writing a paper on the use of technology in teaching scenarios may be of use.  As with most things, we learn by moving from simple to progressively more complex concepts and scenarios. Despite this, education authorities and institutions attempt to drive their educators to complex deployments of technology without mastering the basics.

Here is a paper describing progressive adoption and use of technology in teaching. I would appreciate feedback and comments.
