Taking A Good Look at Instructional Technology (TAGLIT) is a suite of online assessment tools designed to provide educational institutions effective data to evaluate technology use and integration in the teaching and learning environment. TAGLIT provides a measure for schools to meet the goal as stated by the Enhancing Education Through Technology Title II, Part D of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as amended by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001: “To assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring that every student is technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student’s race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location or disability.”
