Boost Whiteboard! A New Feature to Check Out in Brisk! by Jen Parisi

This article was submitted by guest author Jen Parisi, a K–5 instructional coach at Roslyn Road Elementary and member of the AI Task Force.

Brisk Boost Whiteboard is a newly launched feature designed to make student thinking visible in real time. Brisk Whiteboard allows students to show their thinking, while teachers view responses and progress in real time to see how their students are developing towards the targeted learning objectives. Boost Whiteboard offers a new way for students to communicate problem-solving, evidence, explanations, and more.

Boost Whiteboard: Students Choose their Feedback Path

Boost Whiteboard gives students a choice in how they receive feedback, empowering them to grow as independent learners. Embedded directly in Boost Whiteboard is Brisk Boost, the chatbot feature, which engages students through scaffolded, responsive dialogue. As students work, they can choose the type of feedback that best supports their learning. Students may launch the chatbot for clarification and guided support or submit their work to receive AI-generated feedback, all while interacting within the Boost Whiteboard. This flexibility allows students to access feedback when needed while maintaining ownership of their thinking and problem-solving. 

The images below show how students can choose to Get Help or Check Work

Here is a student-facing video of how a student uses Boost Whiteboard and receives feedback.





Brisk Boost Whiteboard Set-Up for Teachers

Teachers create the Brisk Boost Whiteboard activity with the autonomy select and upload specific criteria: grade level, standards, rubrics, and customize the AI-generated feedback and scaffolding.

Teacher Data Insights & Analytics & Next Steps

Brisk Boost Whiteboard includes teacher-facing data insights that support instructional decision-making. Teachers can view student responses in real time, identify patterns, and use this information to guide next instructional steps.

Teachers receive clear snapshots of whole-class strengths and areas for growth, along with individual student progress. The images below show examples of both whole-class data and individual student views. In the individual student view, teachers can see how students are progressing toward targeted learning objectives, as well as real-time Boost Whiteboard activity and Brisk Boost scripts when students choose to use this type of feedback. Insights from students’ interactions with the Brisk Boost chat will inform next steps in instruction.





Removing Barriers with Language and Accessibility Options

Brisk currently supports 55 language translations, increasing access for multilingual learners. Speech-to-text enables students to respond by voice, removing typing as a barrier. The audio feature enables students to hear Brisk Boost’s questions and feedback read aloud, supporting comprehension and engagement for all learners.
