PIC-RAT Model 🖼🐀​

Effective technology integration is a nuanced and difficult thing to decipher, but this model helps us to think about practice along two lines.

​

Generally speaking, effective technology integration occurs more at the top-right of the model, while most of our practice lingers around the bottom-left.

PIC-RAT Model 🖼🐀​

CONTEXT MATTERS! 🧐​

​

There can be uses of technology that do not neatly fall into one category or another in the PIC-RAT model, because contextual factors may change the nature of the activity.

PIC-RAT Model 🖼🐀​

How are we encouraging students to use technology to create?

(Over passive “tap, tap” use.)

​

How are we using technology to transform and enhance on previous practice – how is it improving what we did before? (Rather than making previous practice “just digital.”)
