1. Levels Of Teaching Innovation Or Level Of Technology Integration A tool for measuring authentic technology use in the classroom

2. What is LoTi? Technology Implementation Thinking Integration Teacher Innovation

3. Technology Literacy is Technology Literacy is… use technology to improve learning acquire knowledge and skills ….the ability to responsibly use appropriate technology to communicate, solve problems, and access, manage, integrate, evaluate, and create information to improve learning in all subject areas and to acquire lifelong knowledge and skills in the 21st century.

4. “Okay, your father managed to get a mouse. Now, how do we use it?”

6. Technology Integration… process … is the process of teachers and students routinely, seamlessly and ultimately, enhance learning using technology resources and technology-based practices to enhance learning.

8. Levels of Technology Implementation (LoTi) measure authentic technology use Framework to measure authentic technology use in the classroom Student-Centered Learning Higher-Order Thinking Utilizes Student-Centered Learning Practices and Higher-Order Thinking Skills Reports:  Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi Level)  DETAILS—21 st Century Skill sets  Personal Computer Use  Current Instructional Practice individualize Professional Development Information to individualize Professional Development for staff and resources http://www.loticonnection.com/

9.  LoTi Framework Level 0: Nonuse Level 1: Awareness Level 2: Exploration Level 3: Infusion Level 4a: Integration (Mechanical) Level 4b: Integration (Routine) Level 5: Expansion Level 6: Refinement

10. Level 0: Non-Use Are cobwebs forming around your classroom computers?

11. Level 1: Awareness Who's using the computers? The teacher or the students?

12. Level 2: Exploration Is the focus more on computer use or on the critical content?

13. Level 3: Infusion Is higher order thinking and problem solving linked to critical content the focus of computer use in the classroom?

14. Level 4a: Integration (Mechanical) Do classroom management issues relating to authentic, problem-based learning impede your progress with this type of teaching and learning approach?

15. Level 4b: Integration (Routine) Is designing and managing student- based learning experiences using the available computers the most rewarding part of your workday?

16. Level 5: Expansion Are you ready to advance into uncharted areas of powerful teaching strategies linked to advanced technology use?

17. Level 6: Refinement Have you reached the promise land involving the power and potential of instructional computing?

18. LoTi Framework Level 0: Nonuse Level 1: Awareness Level 2: Exploration Level 3: Infusion Level 4a: Integration (Mechanical) Level 4b: Integration (Routine) Level 5: Expansion Level 6: Refinement

19.  Personal Computer Use Framework The Personal Computer Use (PCU) Framework Assesses teachers' comfort and skill level with using a personal computer. Intensity Levels 0-7

20.  Current Instructional Practices Framework Current Instructional Practices (CIP) Assesses subject-matter versus a learner- based curriculum approach. Intensity Levels 0-7

21.  21 st Century Skill Sets Assesses the incorporation of 21 st Century skill sets such as higher order thinking, problem solving, relevance, etc.

25. LoTi Lesson Makeover Start with what YOU are ALREADY doing! LoTi is a system to find ideas for integrating technology and higher level thinking into lessons about real world problems.

26. LoTi Level 0 No Use of Technology Mrs. Hewitt teaches a No Smoking Lesson 1. She reads a book called It’s NOT Cool to Smoke. 2. Mrs. Hewitt shows a picture of the body, and talks about our lungs and how we could not breathe if we hurt our lungs by smoking. 3. The students draw a picture about saying “no” to smoking.

27. LoTi Level 1 Awareness- Teacher Use only No Smoking Lesson 1. Mrs. Hewitt reads a book called It’s Not Cool to Smoke. 2. She shows the kids a short clip on www.unitedstreaming.com about the dangers of smoking. www.unitedstreaming.com 3. The kids make a class book about saying “no” to smoking.

28. LoTi Level 2 Exploration- Kids Use Computers, not necessarily related to content No Smoking Lesson 1. Mrs. Hewitt reads a book called It’s Not Cool to Smoke. 2. She shows a picture on the projector of lung cancer from smoking. 3. The kids work in small groups, some making a “say no to smoking” picture, some playing educational games on computers (not related to smoking), and some making a chart about ways to keep our lungs healthy.

29. LoTi Level 3 Infusion- Use of computers by kids for higher level thinking and problem solving Mrs. Hewitt reads the book It’s Not Cool to Smoke. Mrs. Hewitt shows pictures on the projector of healthy and unhealthy lungs. With the projector, the kids take turns using the mouse to choose pictures and sort them into healthy and unhealthy activities for your lungs.

30. LoTi Level 4 Integration- Kids use technology to solve a real world problem This is a UNIT, or longer than just one lesson! Maybe over a week’s span. The class brainstorms a way to help people stop smoking. Using technology, they create a power point telling people why smoking is bad. (with help) Included in the power point are video clips and pictures that kids took of each other. (with help) The kids help arrange a time to have parents and friends come in to watch the presentation. The kids mail out invitations to people they want to come.

31. LoTi Level 5 Expansion- Community is involved in process or solving real world problem. The kids create a presentation on why smoking is dangerous. Medical Doctors, Nurses, and Firemen are invited to come in and inform kids about the dangers of smoking, and the kids take pictures and video to feature in the presentation. The kids provide the Community Helpers with a copy of the presentation to show to the community.
