Another important finding reported here regards the intensification of effects as the analytic focus shifts from a lower to a higher organizational level (e.g., from the classroom level to the school or district level). Factors such as beliefs about instructional benefits of technology, perceived obstacles to integrating technology, perceived pressure by teachers to use technology, and accountability to technology standards may have small effects at the individual classroom level but may have stronger effects at the school and district levels. This pattern is likely due to the cumulative effect a factor may have on teachers who work within a school or district. For instance, not all teachers within a school respond identically to obstacles integrating technology. Teachers who are technology innovators may reach out to external sources for assistance with IT integration (e.g., Internet resources, teachers in other districts), whereas less innovative teachers may resort solely to locally provided support; these teachers may be less likely to use technology in instruction, thereby decreasing the district’s average use of IT.
