What is LoTi?

The LoTi (Levels of Technology Integration) survey is designed to accurately measure authentic classroom technology use. The LoTi framework focuses on the use of technology as a tool within the context of student based instruction with a constant emphasis on higher order thinking. The survey provides results in three areas: Levels of Technology Implementation (LoTi), Personal Computer Use (PCU) and Current Instructional Practices (CIP).

• The Levels of Technology Implementation (LoTi) scale focuses on the use of technology as an interactive learning medium because this particular component has the greatest and lasting impact on classroom pedagogy and is the most difficult to implement and assess. The challenge is not merely to use technology to achieve isolated tasks (e.g., word processing a research paper, creating a multimedia slide show, browsing the Internet), but rather to integrate technology in an exemplary manner that supports purposeful problem-solving, performance-based assessment practices, and experiential learning--all vital characteristics of the Target Technology level established by the CEO Forum on Education and Technology.
• The Personal Computer Use (PCU) Framework assesses classroom teachers' comfort and skill level with using a personal computer.
• The Current Instructional Practices (CIP) portion of the LoTi Questionnaire assesses classroom teachers' current instructional practices relating to a subject-matter versus a learner-based curriculum approach

How long will the survey take?

The survey is about 38 questions.  It will take you approximately 20-30 minutes to complete.

What will teachers see when they are done?

When a teacher is finished with the survey, they will get a report explaining strengths and weaknesses in terms of technology integration. It will give recommendations for staff development and will provide a list of websites and lessons to support the integration of technology in their teaching.
