Author // Sarah Mowery Monday, 11 November 2024

Choice boards are a helpful tool for instruction, supporting and engaging students with options for how to learn new content. INFOhio visual choice boards include eBooks and videos that provide differentiation for students of all ages. 

Support K-12 students' background knowledge with choice boards on selected social studies topics including American wars, ancient civilizations, and indigenous peoples. 

Each choice board is created using Google Slides. Students simply click on the tile of the eBook, video, or activity that interests them to learn more about the topic.
