Digital Choice Boards

Choice Boards are the ultimate tool for differentiating learning in the classroom! Students are given a variety of activities to choose from in order to demonstrate understanding of a topic or unit of study. By giving students choices, teachers will typically find that students are more engaged and will produce higher-quality products. Choice Boards are not new to the education world. Many of us used some sort of Choice Boards in paper format, but with all of the technology tools currently available in the classroom, why not move from the paper format to the digital format?

What do Choice Boards look like? They are graphic organizers often found in one of the following formats:

• Tic-Tac-Toe
• List of Activities
• Bingo Board
• Restaurant Style Menu
• Columns of Choices
• Branching Google Slide Show

Oh, and one last thing. Choice Boards are not just for students! Administrators are using Choice Boards to give their staff the ability to choose options during Professional Development sessions, staff meetings, summer learning, etc.

How are teachers assessing student work when using Choice Boards?

Students can:

• upload work into Google Classroom, Schoology, Canvas, etc.
• record audio responses directly onto a Padlet Wall or Flip
• fill out a Google Form Exit Ticket
• complete a Socrative, Quizizz, Gimkit, Wordwall, Blooket or Kahoot quiz
• record a short video/screencast explaining their process and/or product
• screenshot their work and send it to the teacher

Bitmoji Classrooms are being used to creatively teach lessons and give students a choice in how to learn content, select reading materials, videos, etc. Several of the examples listed above are Bitmoji Classrooms. You can use the content on Classrooms and remove the Bitmoji if you prefer.
