Student Choice Boards and Learning Menus

How many of us remember the amazing Katie Novak and her "buffet style" approach to student learning with UDL? Although her inspiring analogies and ideologies were delivered pre-pandemic, we can still apply those concepts to life in the blended, remote, and combo classrooms with Canvas!

A Choice Board is an excellent way to provide voice and choice through differentiation.
