Abstract: Technology often needs to migrate from its place and culture of origin to other places through transfer/valorization/commercialization, innovation, adoption/diffusion and integration. This study defines these terms and relates them to one another. It discusses the technology transfer process, traditional and new models of technology adoption, technology adoption/diffusion participants and their characteristics, the needs of technology adopters, principles of networked learning environment, reward/recognition and technology innovation in educational community, the differences between the adoption of ICTs and that of previous technology innovations, theories of technology adoption and diffusion and adoption/diffusion versus integration of technology innovation in an institution’s curriculum.
