The Hollis Team believes  that technology is a tool that can augment instruction, streamline administration and prepares the K-12 student for the 22nd century. Through Hollis initiatives workshops on technology integration, electronic portfolio development and computer-based assessment systems are offered on a regular basis. Starting in the summer of 2007 the Nina B Hollis Institute will partner with the National Business Alliance and offer LoTi Training Institutes. 

LoTi is a term referring to Dr. Moersch's Level of Technology Implementation Framework designed to accurately measure authentic classroom technology use. The LoTi Framework focuses on the use of technology as a tool within the context of student based instruction with a constant emphasis on higher order thinking. While technology is an important tool in engaging today's students and preparing them for the future, the LoTi Project recognizes that technology is not the best tool for every lesson. That is why the the LoTi Framework focuses on the instruction that is occurring in the classroom first and the technology tools being used second. Research has shown that classrooms that engage students in making decisions about their learning process and that utilize higher order thinking skills are most likely to prepare students for their future.

The LoTi Framework has, at each level, a description of the instruction that is occurring as well as the involvement of the students. That is why the LoTi assessment considers two critical areas.

• Current Instructional Practices (CIP)
  This area focuses on what methods the teacher uses to deliver instruction. How involved are the students in the classroom decision-making process? Do students help determine the problem being studied or have input in the final product that is produced?
• Personal Computer Use (PCU)
  How comfortable are the teachers in using the technology tools involved in integration?

Once the LoTi assessment underwent a validation study in 2005, it was determined that the questionnaire went beyond these two areas and gave administrators a clearer picture of the professional development that was needed in the five key areas represented by the DETAILS for the 21st Century Skillsets.
