When you login to the LoTi Lounge, you will see a link to Take the LoTi Digital-Age Survey. Please take the survey as either a teacher or instructional leader. The results will remain anonymous but should give you some insight into how the resulting data can be used to design personalized professional development plans for individual teachers at the campus level. || The LoTi Digital-Age Survey is a research-based self-assessment to ascertain specific behaviors of classroom teachers and instructional leaders as they relate to the delivery and support of digital-age teaching and learning. The LoTi Digital-Age Survey is aligned to both the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for Teachers and Administrators and the Framework for 21st Century Learning as articulated by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and the Partnership for the 21st Century Skills, respectively. In this activity, you will take the LoTi Digital-Age Survey to (1) determine your existing LoTi (Levels of Teaching Innovation), CIP (Current Instructional Practices), and PCU (Personal Computer Use) levels and (2) generate an individualized LoTi Digital-Age Professional Development Priority profile aligned to the NETS for either Teachers or Administrators. Use the instructions and the link below to complete the survey. || View the video below about today's digital natives. As you review the video, consider and reflect on the following questions:
