Digital Choice Boards

Digital Choice Boards are an interactive way to share information, resources, videos, and website links for both adult and student learning! The Innovative Learning Tower, Winter Wonderland, and January Newsletter below were all crated within Google Slides.

Janet Corder's Website: Digital ChoiceBoards, also below, gives more ideas and options as well! As with any technology tool used at NSSEO, please check the LearnPlatform to make sure it is SOPPA compliant and approved for use.
