In this activity, you will review the learning experience called "How Crowded are our States?"and then complete the following tasks:

1. Approximate the current Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi) prior to the makeover including a detailed rationale for your approximation.

2. Explain in detail the changes you would make with the existing learning experience to move it one level higher on the LoTi Framework.

3. Explain in detail the changes you would make with the existing learning experience to move it two levels higher on the LoTi Framework.

On a separate sheet of paper, record any of your thoughts, assumptions, ideas, or insights relating to the lesson plan makeover.

Note:
Make sure to identify and defend the new LoTi Levels for the learning experience, "How Crowded are our States?" based on your recommended changes.
