Digital Vision Board

Happy New Year! With a new year comes new goals! Vision boards are nothing new, but have you thought of having your students take advantage of this visualization technique?  Use Google Slides makes it easy to collect images and words that represent student academic and personal goals. Have conversations around the difference between unrealistic dreams and realistic goals and what images may inspire them to reach their goals. Revisit vision boards throughout the year with students as they reflect on their progress.  Provide opportunities for students to document and share their accomplishments using a tool such as Flipgrid, Padlet, or Linoit.  Setting goals, monitoring progress and celebrating accomplishments are the foundations of success. The sooner we provide students with the tools and strategies to build that foundation, the stronger it becomes and the more likely it evolves into a lifelong practice.
