Abstract: There are thousands of new technologies out there. Every day a few more exciting new technologies come along, many of which could be used to do interesting things in the classroom. Most of the time those technologies get used by a few early adopters and then fade away. What factors can get teachers to use them widely; that is, what will make those technologies tip? Gladwell (2000) discusses three factors for something to tip: The Law of the Few (having the right kind of people making the right kinds of connections to “sell” others on the technology), The Stickiness Factor (when someone hears about it, does it stick with them and cause them to take action), and The Power of Context (small contextual things make a big difference). In this paper, I will outline how these principles apply to educational technology.
