As teacher educators who need to support the next generation of practitioners with technology and practice in the post-COVID teaching landscape, we draw on PICRAT (Kimmons, Graham, and West 2020) to guide our instructional work. This paper primarily addresses the ways that PICRAT has moved beyond TPACK and SAMR, two foundational theories for integrating technology in the classroom, as a more robust avenue for technology integration in online and blended spaces. We believe twenty first Century Learning, which focuses on communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity (Elkordy and Keneman 2022), can be supported through the use of digital graphic organizers. PICRAT can help educators create digital graphic organizers that require students to be interactive and creative, where the effect on learning is amplified or transformed.
