IT’S ALL ABOUT CHOICE! With the use of IPADs, learning menus (aka choice boards) are a great form of differentiating learning that gives students a menu or choice of learning activities. Digital learning menus can be used in any grade/content area. 

One easy way to try out implementing a learning menu using the IPADs is a digital "Tic-Tac-Toe" menu. A digital "Tic-Tac-Toe" can be used for anything from short activities to more long-term projects, both assessment FOR learning (formative) and assessment OF learning (summative). 

Remember when you are creating a learning menu to align it with your learning objective! First, you want to make sure the middle square is a non-negotiable, the one activity that you want every student to complete. This could be reading an article, watching a video, add a summary it to a collaborative Google Slide deck where they will also add links to their other projects. Everything in one place!

Color coding on the "Tic-Tac-Toe" menu helps students to guide their learning. Because the middle square is a non-negotiable, you control how they navigate and complete activities on the menu. Every student will do the middle square and one from the blue and one from the yellow.
