9. Stages of Adoption of Technology. . Stage 1: Awareness I am aware that technology exists but have not used it - perhaps I'm even avoiding it. Stage 2: Learning the process I am currently trying to learn the basics. I am often frustrated using computers. I lack confidence when using computers. Stage 3: Understanding and application of the process I am beginning to understand the process of using technology and can think of specific tasks in which it might be useful. Stage 4: Familiarity and confidence I am gaining a sense of confidence in using the computer for specific tasks. I am starting to feel comfortable using the computer. Stage 5: Adaptation to other contexts I think about the computer as a tool to help me and am no longer concerned about it as technology. I can use it in many applications and as an instructional aid. Stage 6: Creative application to new contexts I can apply what I know about technology in the classroom. I am able to use it as an instructional tool and integrate it into the curriculum.
