Using Digital Boards to Give Students Choice

We can build student engagement, support differentiation and provide more authentic
assessments when we offer students opportunities to have voice and choice in their 
learning. Using boards like Bingo and Tic Tac Toe is one way we can provide students 
voice and choice. On these boards, we can offer students a variety of ways to use 
technology to process and demonstrate their learning. Students can pick their path
to complete a line across the board.

You and your students do not have to be experts on the tools offered on the 
gameboards. Part of the learning experience can be for students to develop their skills
for self-learning as they learn to use new tools to complete projects that interest them
These digital boards provide students the opportunity to develop their technical, 
creativity and problem solving skills.

To learn more, please see this short article: Design Your Own Choice Board by
Catlin Tucker that includes tips and other examples. 

Note: Google and Pinterest are also great places to search for more board templates
and examples. Use keywords like "student choice boards," "digital choice boards," and 
"learning menus."
