What is LoTi ?

During the past decade, 21st Century Skills have been described, debated, and, unfortunately, downplayed when one considers their overall impact on instruction and assessment practices in our public schools. Organizations such as the Partnership of the 21st Century and the former North Central Regional Laboratory have successfully articulated a set of well-defined skill sets targeting needed student outcomes for the 21st Century workplace; yet, a careful scrutiny of district curriculum manuals, pacing guides, and scope & sequence charts reveals little evidence of their existence.

The original LoTi (Levels of Technology Implementation) Framework was initially developed in 1994 as a conceptual model to articulate specific stages of technology implementation in the classroom. Over time, the LoTi Framework has become synonymous with 21st Century learning. During this evolutionary process, the acronym, LoTi, has also been transformed from Levels of Technology Implementation to Levels of Teaching Innovation.

The LoTi Lounge is an easy-to-use professional development resource center for K-12 Educators. It is such an exciting and useful tool, in fact, that a team of corporate sponsors has decided to fund access to LoTi Lounge for educators nationally. Inside the LoTi Lounge , you can gather online resources for your classroom, create your own professional development plan, complete needs assessment surveys, and much, more!

The LoTi Lounge includes:

• The online LoTi Digital-Age Survey (e.g., formally the DETAILS Questionnaire & LoTi Questionnaire) has been updated to align with the initiatives set forth by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills and with ISTE's National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for Teachers and Administrators.
• Customized individual results and professional development suggestions based on the five empirically-validated LoTi Digital-Age Priority Areas: (1) Student Learning and Creativity, (2) Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, (3) Digital-Age Work and Learning, (4) Digital Citizenship and Responsibility, and (5) Professional Growth and Leadership.
