About PILOT (Prepare to Integrate Learning with Technology)	Quick Start
PILOT is the result of a collaborative effort among the Educational Technology Support Centers (ETSC) of Washington State. The site serves many purposes: It is an online, self-assessment tool for educators to determine their levels of technology proficiency and classroom application. Based upon the results of the assessment, it is a place for educators to view and select learning opportunities throughout the state to advance their proficiency level. In addition, charts can be displayed showing the overall level for teachers at a school site as well as within a district, region, or for the entire state. It is a learning community for educators to meet and participate in statewide projects. And it is a tool for districts to use with their staff to plan their professional development efforts.	Step 1: Create a New Account.
	Step 2: Fill out the Survey.
	Step 3: Return to the site periodically for a reassessment as your skills grow.

Site History

In March of 2001, the nine ETSC Directors gathered to plan activities in response to the deliverables mandated as part of the ETSC grant. The idea of PILOT was conceived to address the following specific deliverables:

• Develop recommended Student, Educator, and Administrator Technology Competencies
• Plan and implement a collaborative approach for consistent multi-layered educational technology staff development for all educators.
• Provide regional staff development opportunities to support curricular integration.
• Identify, disseminate, and support successful models of using technology to improve teaching and learning.

PILOT is modeled after the Utah Technology Awareness Project (UTAP), a federal Technology Literacy Challenge Grant Project. UTAP is an online, self-assessment tool for educators that help teachers see what they need to learn to effectively leverage technology in the classroom.

PILOT is funded by the Educational Technology Development Center through a grant from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
