The ISTE Classroom Observation Tool (ICOT) provides you with a convenient platform for recording observations of technology use in classrooms. Check boxes and pull-down menus allow you to easily record a variety of classroom characteristics and automatically aggregate data or export it into other programs. Use ICOT to collect data on classroom groupings, teacher roles, time and types of technology use, and the NETS.

Because the interactive features rely on Excel macros, ICOT is optimized for Windows-based laptops or tablets. However you can use the spreadsheet without macros in most versions of Excel on Windows or Macintosh computers.
