Dust off the Cobwebs!!

I found it very informative to review the different LoTi levels. Much of the content presented was an eye-opener! It is an interesting way to break down technology use in our schools (or lack there of...). Before reading the description of the level, I took a few minutes to reflect on the question posed in the beginning of each level and think about how it directly relates to my classroom and district. I actually ranked my district at a level "3". Many of the projects we do with our students are inquiry based in which students have to think of their own guiding questions for their research. Last year, my colleagues and I created a "Colonial America WebQuest" in which my students had to conduct research, draw conclusions based on the research, and create an electronic Colonial America Newspaper. This year, we are planning to do a unit on The Civil War in which students will have to construct guiding questions and conduct research based on the topics they are interested in researching. We are still thinking about a culminating project! Any ideas?
I think teachers need to "dust off those cobwebs" and start to experiment with the joys of technology. It may take time to get to level 3, but they need to start somewhere. I bet they will probably be very surpirsed of how much more engaged their students really are!
