VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
Given the information above, how would the technology integration you described, using the selected resource? (On the
Value-Added Rating Scale above)
Explain your rating based on the indicators on the rubric.

I think that Educreations would rank as a 2 in its value. It aligns with the content standards of both teacher and student; although
it mostly will be used to enhance lessons and reteach, instead of actually teaching the lesson. You definitely could teach lessons
with it still though.
