Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition Model is a powerful tool to prompt teacher thinking about effective use of Technology. Used in conjunction with the TPACK model and the Anesu tech GEs page: http://www.anesu.org/curriculum/technology-grade-expectations teachers will have some grounded models to consider meaningful integration.
Making a list is usually straightforward and requires little thought. But when it comes to ordering and prioritizing items in that list, higher-level skills of analysis and evaluation are put to use. The Visual Ranking Tool brings focus to the thinking behind making ordered lists. Students identify and refine criteria as they assign order or ranking to a list. Items in the list may be represented by images. Students must explain their reasoning and can compare their work with each other in a visual diagram. This tool supports activities where students need to organize ideas, debate differences, and reach consensus.
Thanks Marshal. I loved the tool when we used it in class, but I can't seem to use it with my students. I signed up for an account, but I'm not getting the permissions I need to get into the tool. Frustrating. Any hints?
