9 Web Tools and a Template For Learners to Establish Goals with Vision Boards

3 min read

“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.” – Japanese Proverb

Setting goals keeps you focused and ties learning to a real-world purpose and mission. Accomplishing goals isn’t such an easy task for everyone, especially students. One of the goals in my book, The 30 Goals Challenge for Educators: Small Steps to Transform Your Teaching, is for teachers and students to create vision boards to help them accomplish goals they set. Vision boards are basically collages of inspirational people, quotes, and visuals representing personal goals. Extremely successful people swear by them. Below is an example vision board created by one of my students using Buncee. Click here for several more student created vision boards. This is a free Buncee template I created for any teacher or student to copy and edit as they wish! Recently, I tied the Digital Vision Boards to also the One Word Project. See this post with a template and examples. This is the free Buncee template for the One Word Vision Boards. See some studen examples below. Students are asked to establish academic goals, personal goals, and ultimate life goals. Below, are a list of additional free web tools and apps for creating vision boards with a few examples.
