Provided below is the agenda for our LoTi "Snapshot."
What is digital-age teaching and learning?
Now, rank the videos from Lowest (1) to Highest (3) in terms of representing digital-age teaching and learning.
• Discussion: Add a comment at the bottom of this blog post now about the specific "look-fors" that separated your highest rated video from your lowest rated video.
What is H.E.A.T.?
• Discussion: Conduct a H.E.A.T. analysis of the Food Chains video. Was it bringing the H.E.A.T. to student learning in terms of Higher order thinking, Engaged learning, Authentic connections, and Technology use. Take a minute to reflect on the amount of student H.E.A.T. generated from the video.
What is LoTi?
• Discussion: Conduct a LoTi Sniff Test of the Biology video. What was the LoTi Level of the video?
• Discussion: How does LoTi relate to H.E.A.T.? How does the LoTi/H.E.A.T. Model relate to 21st Century Skills.
What is the LoTi Continuous Improvement Process?
• Assess
• Plan
• Implement
• Sustain
• Discussion: What criteria or "look-fors" does your school district currently use to gauge acceptable "digital-age learning" best practices? How do these criteria compare with the H.E.A.T. look-fors?
