research, reading a specific article, or watching a video. It will then promote critical thinking
when they have to provide evidence for the claim based on their activity. The ISTE student
standard knowledge constructor is reflected in this choice board. Students will be able to
discuss information learned through digital tools. They will also have the opportunity to utilize
effective research strategies.
