It makes assignment more like a game, a logic puzzle, and therefor much more fun. If it's fun, it's good.

I coupled the choice board with a station activity earlier in the class, and something I liked about it was that it was less stress during class for me. Being able to float around and interact/help students as needed is another incentive for replacing direct instruction with other ways to present content!]]> 2021-09-23 17:59:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1763741508 https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1764143254 I also really like the idea of a choice board. My instinct would have me give choice in the texts read, but there are several ways of assessing singular skills, so why not create different versions of the assignment?]]> 2021-09-23 22:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1764143254 https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1765397775 I would also like the to try the choice board]]> 2021-09-24 11:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1765397775 https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1765398870 I think the impact is well worth the time to put things together. It is a more intentional curation technique]]> 2021-09-24 11:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1765398870 https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1766285607 I am willing to try using Choice Boards to empower my second graders. I think they could work well for reading strategies, vocabulary and thematic work, and brain breaks for fast finishers. I am also willing to try pre-recorded instructional videos for students to watch and review content at their own pace.]]> 2021-09-24 17:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1766285607 https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1766302105 I think the impact of using choice boards and pre-recorded instructional videos will be positive. Not only will differentiation be possible, but I will have more time to meet individually with students as needed. I hypothesize that these strategies will help ensure that students' individual needs are addressed, thus ensuring more successful learning outcomes.]]> 2021-09-24 17:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaburch1/7g7vh4xsld3ue5jf/wish/1766302105
