ALYA ALNUAIMI | THE ADOPTION OF TECHNOLOGY | ACCEPTANCE
ACCORDING TO ALYA ALNUAIMI, YOU WILL FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE UTILIZING THE NEW TECHNOLOGY SOONER IF YOU CAN GET THROUGH THE FIRST PHASES MORE QUICKLY. ACCEPTANCE INDICATES THAT YOU ARE PREPARED TO USE THIS TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR LESSON PLANS, MAKE THE MOST OF IT, AND FULLY BENEFIT YOUR PUPILS FROM THIS PROJECT.
BEAT THE FEAR OF NEW TECHNOLOGY Similar to the five phases of loss and sorrow, everyone's responses to new technologies follow a predictable pattern. You may begin to go through the phases more rapidly if you realize that they are the same for everyone and that you are not fighting the world alone. Alya AlNuaimi says that by learning to follow your students' example, you may transform their anxiety into enthusiasm and ultimately acceptance.

DENIAL
We put a lot of effort into improving as teachers. To increase our effectiveness, we make minor changes to the curriculum, our lesson plans, and our classroom management techniques every year. Therefore, when administrators announce a sudden and significant shift, such as paperless courses and 1:1 technology integration, it might seem like a big shock. Many educators will react to the news automatically. This is never going to work, is the prevailing response.
BARGAINING
I won't be forced to use anything, but they can put it in my classroom. You can promise yourself that you will only study the absolute minimum. The technology will be used during a principal's observation of your class or the first week of school before being packed away and replaced with your usual, tried-andtrue procedures.

EXCITEMENT
Experience with a new tool will usually inspire instructors to be enthusiastic about its application in their classroom. Teachers are naturally imaginative and creative people. We always consider how to differentiate and adjust things for our pupils. As you play with this new tool, you'll probably start to consider how it might fit into your teaching.
EXPERIMENTATION
The crucial phase for successful technology adoption is this one. It represents a metaphorical turning point in the way you think about using technology. We conquer our worries by experimenting with the technology once we give ourselves permission to do so and start clicking through.
