While Choice Board might be a familiar term, Explore Board was new to me. Holly Clark (Infused Classroom) recently shared (both in her newsletter and on her blog here), the difference between the two as well as a few templates (one for the Outsiders). Here is how she explains the difference:A choice board is used to give students choice in how they respond to a prompt or project. It is used for giving students a choice in how they show learning. It's an "outro" activity.An Explore board, on the other hand. is an "intro" activity - meant to help get students the background knowledge they need that will help them understand concepts and ideas better. It can also be used as a resource as they progress in the learning unit.
So why they may look similar, the activities and purposes are slightly different.
