[|Visual Ranking]
My personal favorite. Intel describes using this tool to "Identify and refine criteria for assigning a ranking to a list. Then debate differences, reach consensus, and organize ideas." Watch this[|video] to get a better idea. Take a moment and explore Intel's [|resources of units] and plans for this tool. I think it would be great to build a collection of other ideas that could be used for this tool. Please feel free to submit.

//__**Visual Ranking Tool Ideas and Documents**__// How about using the activity I described in Elevating Spreadsheets about Bookstores in the Caribbean? Great way for students to share their findings! There are many lessons on the web that could incorporate this tool. One example is [|Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure]. Note the [|list] that is part of lesson. Astrosociety.org has this great [|lunar activity] that could be adapted for use with Visual Ranking.

[|Seeing Reason]
There is no better tool that can promote real thinking than one that allows students to brainstorm and web. Intel describes this tool as one that allows students to "investigate relationships in complex systems, and create maps that communicate understanding". Watch this [|video] to get a better understanding. Take a moment to explore Intel's [|resources of units] and plans for this tool. I think it would be great to build a collection of other ideas that could be used for this tool. Please feel free to submit.

[|Showing Evidence]
Students need to come up with opinions, hypotheses, and thesis arguments. More importantly, they must learn to support their ideas with factual details. This is true whether students are exploring science, discussing social studies, explaining a math problem, or writing a language arts paper. Intel describes this tool as one that allows students to "construct well-reasoned arguments supported by evidence, using a visual framework." Watch this [|video] to get a better understanding. Take a moment to explore Intel's [|resources of units] and plans for this tool. I think it would be great to build a collection of other ideas that could be used for this tool. Please feel free to submit.
