The ISTE Classroom Observation tool (ICOT) for several years has provided a convenient platform for conducting evaluation observations in technology-using schools. However, the application has aged quickly. With the loss of funding for programming an upgrade, evaluators moved the protocol into a common spreadsheet, incorporating the latest educational technology standards, eliminating glitches from the original tool, and providing a free and flexible platform than can be easily modified by users without programming. This presentation will introduce users to the ICOT, enable them to download the tool, and discuss how to incorporate the tool into evaluation logic models, achieve reliability across observers, aggregate data for analysis, and present results. #2011Conference #ISTEClassroomObservationTool #Prek-12EducationalEvaluation #DistanceEdandOtherEducationalTech
