LoTi Digital Age Survey for Leaders
The LoTi Digital Age Survey takes about 10-15
minutes to complete. The purpose of this survey is
to determine your current professional development
priorities. The LoTi Digital Age Survey is comprised
of a series of questions and statements about the
instructional use of technology within your school/
district.
The questions/statements inquire about the digital
landscape, teacher perceptions, school climate, use
of classroom resources, standards-based learning,
and the specific uses of digital resources used during
instruction. These statements were developed from
typical responses of K-12 educators. The survey
questions/statements represent a wide range of uses
of digital resources that you may currently experience
or support, in varying degrees of intensity.
Please answer the questions with candor and respond
to the leader practice statements by selecting the
frequency that best represents your interactions with
digital resources in your school/district. PLEASE NOTE
THAT MANY OF THE LEARNING EXPERIENCES
THAT ARE DESCRIBED ARE NOT INTENDED TO
BE CONDUCTED DAILY. To obtain targeted resources
with your results, fill out as much of the information as
accurately as possible.
