Abstract
Technological developments change human life, including how humans communicate. One of them is by using computer media. The pandemic period makes face-to-face meetings difficult so that learning must be delivered through online media. In addition to learning materials, messages containing innovations both regarding technology that supports lessons, how to use them, and technology-related materials are also delivered through online media. This study uses diffusion innovation theory as the main theory of research and the interactive CMC model as a supporter. 30 principals from various vocational schools in Indonesia and 5 teachers became sources of information for this research through interview and observation techniques. The results of the study show that technological innovation is minimally distributed in every school due to various obstacles such as motivation and access to technology use. The message of innovation includes introducing new technologies for supporting teaching such as google classroom, virtual laboratory, and What's up. They also teach the use of technology to the student that related to mattery through social media. There are several important factors so that innovation can spread through computer-mediated communication, namely the cost factor, the motivation factor, and the online ecosystem preparation factor.
