A positive attitude toward innovation is indicative of a mental state of readiness to sustain or adopt that innovation. This article describes an instrument developed to measure teachers’ attitudes toward the use of Web resources in the classroom. A factorial analysis revealed an estimated alpha internal consistency score of .90 for a sample of United States teachers, .65 for a groups of teachers from Thailand, and an overall estimated alpha internal consistency score of .85. Collecting reliable data from teachers, with regard to their attitude toward the use of Web resources in the classroom, can provide valuable insights into assessing readiness to integrate Web resources into the classroom and interventions designed to help teachers enhance their teaching using Web resources. This instrument was designed to collect such data.
