Welcome to our community Wiki! We are working collaboratively to complete an assignment concerning the diffusion of innovations into education. Each of the members of this community are working on different projects, yet we are working together to assist each other in the process of completing the final project. We will be updating our progress weekly and identifying areas where we may need assistance.

The members of this community are: Andree Simmons Donald Walker Leeanna Tims

My name is Leeanna Tims. I am creating this Wiki for a group project on the diffusion of an innovation into education.I am a gifted education specialist at the elementary level in Southeast Georgia. I work with grades 1-5. The innovation I have chosen is the use of Wikis in elementary classrooms.

My name is Donald Walker. I am excited about this class, particularly the text, //Diffusion of Innovation//. I am an Education Consultant currently serving in the role of an Adjunct Professor in an urban college in Atlanta, Ga. My role in working with this gifted wiki team is to provide support, but also leadership when called upon. The innovation that I have selected to present to the board is named, Teachtown Basic. I chose this innovation because of my growing concern for an escalating prevalence of Autism cases among African American and Latino boys in public education.

My name is Andree Simmons. This is my first experience working with a collaborative group at Walden. I am an IT Project Manager in Atlanta GA looking to move into the education arena. The innovation that I have selected is already being utilized by society in a social setting, but I would like to expand the scope of social networking sites to the classroom as it relates to reducing cost and taking learning global.
