4.3 Innovation
Teachers are more likely to use a new ICT application if it reflects
their current behavior in the classroom. If teachers feel that an ICT
application would cause them to alter their pedagogical approach
drastically, they will be much less likely to use it in the near future
(Versluijs, 2011). Teachers often reject technology that lies outside
their pedagogical comfort zone because they consider it of little value
to them (Underwood, 2009). Getting teachers to accept applications
that will cause them to alter their views of teaching and learning
requires a gradual introduction and ongoing support. A wellbalanced
approach makes it possible to benefit from the added value
of ICT in the short term and simultaneously invest in innovative
applications that require more time to demonstrate their worth.
