The Icons below are a visual framework that teachers can use with all students to build a deeper understanding of complex content by having them develop their higher order thinking and questioning skills through the use of the  dimensions of depth and complexity. 
Ever thought about why technology changes over time, what the technology trends are, or about the unanswered questions you have about technology, or about ethics in technology? This is just one of a myriad of conversations that can come from a depth and complexity driven lesson. When we engage in content using different lenses, our thinking and understanding becomes deeper and more complex. Would you like to know more?
