Week+Five

** Introduction **
During week 5 you will learn about various technology integration frameworks with an emphasis on the LoTI Framework. You will evaluate your own LoTI level. You will complete discussion forum 5.1 in which you reflect upon your LoTI level and how you might improve your LoTI level as well as discussing what needs to happen in your classroom or school to increase technology innovation and integration. You will also continue enhancing your PLN and provide a PLN update in discussion forum 5.2. Furthermore, you should continue working on your Web 2.0 tools/Mobile Apps final video demonstration project. Your final video demonstration project is due in Week 7.

** Lesson Activities **
>
 * 1) Study the assigned resources listed below. It is also recommended that you review the supplemental resources as an extension to your learning opportunities. Pay particular attention to the three main frameworks (Levels of Technology Innovation (LoTI), Grappling's Technology and Learning Spectrum, and Technology Integration Matrix (TIM). These are not the only Technology Integration Frameworks, but they provide a good overview and a great starting place for evaluating what is happening in your classroom, school, or district.
 * 2) Complete the LoTI Digital Age Survey. You will need to set up a LoTi Account if you do not already have one. If you have an existing account, you will need to modify your "District" to William Woods University. A link to the survey is located under the assigned materials for the week. Make sure you read the LoTi Survey Directions for login and username instructions.
 * 3) Complete Week 5.1 Discussion Forum in which you will evaluate your own LoTI level, analyze how you might improve your LoTI level, and discuss what needs to happen in your classroom or school to increase technology innovation and integration. See the Assignment Overview Page  or the assignment description in the Syllabus for the Week 5 Question frame and specific guidelines and instructions. (APA Formatting Resources and Guidance)
 * 4) Continue monitoring and expanding your PLN and adding new resources/tools as appropriate. Provide an update on your PLN by **completing the discussion Forum 5.2.** No follow up response is required, but you would benefit from reviewing the postings of other students. See the Assignment Overview Page or the assignment description in the Syllabus for specific guidelines and instructions.
 * 5) Continue exploring Web 2.0 Tools/Mobile Apps through your own research, with the Supplemental Resources below, and by looking back at the Supplemental Resources for previous weeks.
 * 6) Continue working on your final individual video demonstration project. See the Assignment Overview Page or the assignment description in the Syllabus for specific guidelines and instructions. Also review the scoring rubric for the final individual video demonstration project on TK20 to insure that you are including all of the required components at an appropriate level. The Final Project is due NEXT WEEK!
