The Teacher Center forum has shared this very valuable resource created by Dr. Torrey Trust, an associate professor of Learning Technology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She shares resources that take technology to the next level through choice boards that “enrich the learning experiences of educators and students alike” (https://www.torreytrust.com/home)

I was particularly impressed with the design projects page – https://www.torreytrust.com/design-projects. The following is one example of a Choice Board that ultimately has students do a critical analysis of the coverage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Critical thinking, research, and evaluation of websites reporting information is crucial to our students in the social media world we live in.
