Abstract
These findings support similar studies that have shown that the realization of a technological innovation is socially constructed. The use of this particular NLE was shaped by its historical development and the emergent idealizations of the two classroom teachers. For the students, the NLE was a mediating factor for numerous learning activities. For the teachers, their images of teaching and technology shaped this innovation. This study also revealed timely concerns about the access and efficacy of technology in elementary classrooms.
