In the 21st Century, technology is the driving force in accomplishing tasks throughout all aspects of life. Assessments are necessary in order to ensure students are learning essential skills for the future, and educators’ have the knowledge and skills to teach and inspire students to continue learning after high school. Technology assessments provide essential information regarding an educator’s strengths and weaknesses. They provide positive feedback for identifying technology areas that need to be improved. Assessment recommendations may involve long term learning activities. The LoTi Digital Age Survey is based on The ISTE National Education Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T) Performance Indicators. I completed the survey, and the professional development priorities results were reasonably accurate.
The LoTi Digital Age Survey provides personalized professional development priorities for a teacher to enhance their skills in technology and classroom instruction. According to the NETS-T Performance Indicators, an example set of LoTi professional development Survey results is shown below:
| NETS-T Performance Indicators | NETS-T Description | Professional Development Priority |
| Digital Age Work and Learning | Teacher creates technology application learning activities that inspires learning, creativity, and innovation in the classroom. | High |
