Visual Ranking

  • Use an online tool for ordering and prioritizing items in a list

  • Help students analyze and evaluate criteria for their decisions

  • Compare reasoning visually to promote collaboration and discussion

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. Visual Ranking brings focus to the thinking behind making ordered lists. Students identify and refine criteria as they assign order or ranking to a list. They must explain their reasoning and can compare their work with each other in a visual diagram. This tool supports activities where students need to debate differences, reach consensus, and organize ideas. Enter Visual Ranking ›

      How to Think Like
      Leonardo da Vinci

      "The exercise of ordering your favorites…ranking one a level higher than another, and then articulating why you chose the way you did — requires a depth and clarity of consideration and comparison that inspires richer appreciation and enjoyment."
