• Begin with a brief discussion on what digital literacy means and its importance in education. • Pose the question: "How can choice in learning affect our understanding of history?" • Present key points using a PowerPoint that includes examples of choice boards and playlists. • Demonstrate how to navigate one of the digital tools used in playlists and choice boards (e.g., Newsela) and show examples of how they can be used in World History or other history classes. • Go over common misconception: Students may think that choice means they won't learn if they pick an easier task; clarify that all choices must meet learning objectives/intentions. (Showcase learning intentions rubrics that match the content and playlists/choice boards) • Work through a sample choice board as a class, discussing each option and how it relates to a World History topics. • Give time to create a choice board that includes at least three different activities utilizing the discussed digital tools and share.
