Engaging Teachers with Technology
Online Applications
Visual
Ranking Tool
What must a teacher consider when planning a technology-integrated lesson in a
standards-based environment? Is each of these considerations equally important?
Use this online tool to engage your preservice or practicing teachers in an
exercise aimed at answering these questions. With the Visual Ranking tool
participants can identify the criteria for planning a technology-integrated
lesson in a standards-based environment. They can analyze and discuss the
importance of each criterion and then order the criteria from most to least
important and explain their reasoning.
