Levels of Technology Integration

Hello everybody,

In week 10 we have been asked to assess ourselves using "LoTI framework".
Here is my rflection on this topic:
Hello everybody,
After reading "the LoTI framework", I think I now belong to "Level 3 – Infusion". Higher Order Thinking Skills are on focus. I use varied activities and thinking strategies to enhance that. Teacher-centered strategies including the concept attainment, inductive thinking, and scientific inquiry models of teaching are the norm and guide the types of products generated by students using the available digital assets. Digital tools and resources are used by students to carry out teacher-directed tasks that emphasize higher levels of student cognitive processing relating to the content under investigation.
But, I am trying to get students learn learning strategies to be part of making up the plan and its application. I am trying to personalize some ideas from the textbook (content) or outside to motivate students. I am pushing hard towards learners' autonomy.

I think I am a beginner in using on-line tools. But I am an experienced teacher and armed with strategies and techniques. I always have alternatives and Plan B. I motivate students to participate, to get skills and attitudes, to have their own opinion and HOTS.

In one year's time I would like to be professional in using on-line tools and making full use of technology available. I want to get to "Level 6 – Refinement". I dream of becoming a course moderator, I think I can do that by non-stop hard work. I intend to keep trying and applying the ideas I learned in this course. I will keep on using the recommended sites, WebQuests, On-line Discussion Groups...etc. I will try to modify and improve the ideas and techniques presented in this course. I will try to get involved in further on-line courses. I will try to create a new community in my area that would co-operate in using on-line tools and technology.

All the Best
