Abby,<br />
I would suggest that you review the new Digital Age survey by Levels of Teaching Innovation (<a href="http://loticonnection.com">LoTi</a>). LoTi was developed in 1994 by Dr. Chris Moersch. It has been adopted and implemented in numerous school districts and states across the country. The new survey is mapped directly to the ISTE NETS-T standards released at the 2008 NECC. ISTE has their own survey tool as well.

I'm planning a series of yearlong professional development in technology for next year, and am working on a survey to determine participants' skill levels with technology and the technology topics they are most interested in. Rather than creating just a one-shot survey, I'd like to create an assessment that can be used to track the effectiveness of the PD program itself. Do you have any advice on how to go about this?<br />

<br />
Here's what I'm thinking so far - use the initial survey to establish the baseline, establish district-wide and school-specific goals based on that information, and then somehow (surveys? rubrics?) track our progress toward those specific goals.<br />
<br />
I'd love your input on how to do this effectively - thanks!<br />

Also... have you come across any assessments that are aligned to the revised NET-S standards? Hi Lisa,

Hi Lisa,<br />

The big shift right now that I see is synchronous learning.<br />

Wow this is great. What a terrific resource and there are amazing fully developed units within. I also noticed the Teachers TV. Fantastic. It's amazing how much is out there. Thank you for sharing this with me. I have added it to my <a href="http://theinnovativeeducator.wikispaces.com/TIE%27s+Tech+Assessments">Tech Assessments</a> page.

Here's a couple of measurable goals:<br />
<i>After 36 weeks of instruction, given 2 tasks, issues, or problems, the student will plan, collect, view, analyze and report relevant data using 5 or more digital devices and/or computer applications.</i><br />
<br />
<i>After 36 weeks of instruction, given appropriate digital media and communication environments, the student will support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others by collaborating on 1-2 digital presentations or products in a…</i>

<br />

<br />
These goals are based on the NETS standards and would be assessed by the use of rubrics. They are special ed goals and sound wordy, but you could write something as simple as<br />

Carol thank you so much! I had info on LoTi but had never heard of TIM. I've collected all these wonderful ideas and resources on my wiki at <a href="http://theinnovativeeducator.wikispaces.com/TIE%27s+Tech+Assessments">TIE's Tech Assessments</a>. I hope others find this useful.

The easy way to plan assessment would be to decide where you want the kids to be at the end and work backwards. After 25 years teaching special ed students (with IEPs) I've probably written 5000 goals and objectives over the years.<br />
<br />
To me, if you used the NETS standards, it would be simple to write some broad goals for all kids K-12 that could be easily assessed. I've got examples if you need them.

Lisa, the wikispace is private so I can't see it.<br />
<br />
In my other, non-professorly life, I work with an ed. tech. research and consulting firm that is on the NYC list of approved vendors and that has experience doing surveys and assessment in and around NYC. Let me know, perhaps offline (jonathan.d.becker@gmail.com), if you'd like to discuss the possibility of working on this more.
