I became aware of LoTi (Levels of Technology Implementation) Framework several years ago at the Midwest Education Technology Conference. Then last summer for a Webster class I had to take the LoTi DETAILS Questionnaire, analyze the results that showed my current level of technology implementation and create a plan for improvement (reaching a higher level).
Recently reading information on collaborative learning and technology and technology integration (for another class) reminded me of those LoTi framework levels. So I decided to review them. Wow! I found many changes to the website. First, LoTi now means Levels of Technology Innovation. Then they've updated the DETAILS Questionnaire and it's now the LoTi Digital-Age Survey which is aligned 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. I took the new survey and was quite surprised/impressed/overwhelmed by the questions. They definitely focus on new digital technologies, nontraditional assessment, and student-centered learning. The results are customized for each person and provides information on Current Instructional Practices (CIP), Personal Computer Use (PCU), and LoTi (Levels of Teaching Innovation).
There's so much information I haven't had time to process it all. It's definitely worth visiting their website and learning more about it.
