I was in Group 3 for the team ranking project about the causes of the Civil War. Our ranking was close to Group 4 and Group 6, both of which had a strong positive correlation of 0.70. Group 6 had slavery at the third position while we left it as number one. Group 4 had economic differences as their fourth position, while ours was at the second spot.
I had never used this tool before. While it was interesting to use as a student, I can see how it would be beneficial as a teacher tool. I could survey my class or ask them to rank content items and defend their reasoning. This does allow for higher level thinking skills and for some interesting group work! Now I guess that's my next assignment, so I better start thinking of ideas!
