> Helping teachers to change practices by adopting new tools and  
> pedagogical approaches is of inter-
> est to a wide range of educational researchers and practitioners.  
> This article describes a teacher,
> Ms. Hogan, who is an early adopter of a technological innovation:  
> the authoring tool Squeak. We
> analyze email messages from Ms. Hogan applying Rogers' model for the  
> diffusion of innovation.
> We find that this maverick teacher was quickly persuaded and decided  
> to adopt the tool even
> before her knowledge of the tool was complete. The tool met the  
> needs of this teacher in her
> context but in order for her experience to be more general, the  
> authors hypothesize that materials
> must be created to make the tool relevant to non-maverick teachers.
