Title: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: How Internet Filters Work, How They Don't Work, and How Students Bypass Them Presenter(s): Patrick Crispen Room: Ballroom A-B Strand: Featured Speaker Internet filters -- those little programs that keep students from looking at alt.sex.beastiality.hamsters.duct-tape or www.whitehouse.com -- are all the rage.

Session 263 Title: What Can LoTi Do for Me? Presenter(s): Jo Williamson Room: 309 Strand: DOE Through a contract with the National Business in Education Alliance, the Georgia DOE has made the Level of Technology Use Implementation (LoTI) surveys available to all school systems in Georgia at no cost and subsidized local reports so that school systems pay only $150/per report through August 2003. But, what will this data tell us? What kinds of reports are available? How can the data be used locally to move districts to higher LoTI levels? These are the questions that will be addressed in this interactive workshop that will feature videos of various LoTI levels and examples of how Georgia school districts have used the data. Those needing a deeper understanding of the LoTI framework developed by Dr. Christopher Moersch and wanting to maximize the use of the LoTI tools should attend.
