Digital Choice Boards with G Suite
Limited Capacity full

Differentiation, being a necessary but often timely prep all teachers face every day, does not have to be daunting! Come see one way I have livened up learning through "Digital Choice Boards" and also learn some digital tips/tricks on preventing students from deleting the templates you create for them in Google Slides at the same time. Teachers will gain access to a "Digital Vocabulary Choice Board" template, a "Digital Content Choice Board" template, a copy of a "Best Practices/Examples/Other Ideas to Try Later" slide deck, and also have time to explore & ask questions within this session. Best of all, these resources can be easily modified to any content area and/or skill level.
