LoTi... What is everyone up to?

After evaluating the LoTi levels I believe the school district I work in is at a 1 or a 2 depending on the school. The middle school I work in has SMART Boards in every class as well as a few computers. There are also 2 computer labs and a class set of laptops that can be 'rented' for a classroom for a few days. At the high school, almost no classes have SMART Boards, and if they do they are rarely used. If technology is used in either school it is usually teacher-centered and the teacher does all the work. Student usually only get on the computers to complete assignments, that are almost never Web 2.0 tools. The highest level I have seen is Exploration, this is usually with internet educational games or research papers. I believe that the reason for the lack of use is based on minimal availability as well as curriculum restrictions. There is not enough money to have computers for every student, or even every classroom. At the secondary level there are also restrictions on time because of intense curriculum standards and testing.

My personal level is a 2 at Exploration. I am not very skilled, but have had a little experience with using technology in the classroom as a student. I have only used PowerPoint, SMART Board, as well as research tools on the internet. In order to upgrade my level, I plan to continue to explore Web 2.0 technologies as well as take part in professional development classes.
