IDEA - Use of IdeaBoardz for the “Four Cards: A, B, C and D” Technique
Classroom use of the IdeaBoardz in the classroom is the "four cards: A, B, C, and D" technique.
SCENARIO:
The teacher asks students a question with four (or three) different possible answers. After thinking about it (preferably in pairs), the students decide which solution they choose by writing on the board beforehand. More important than the decision is the need to justify it and present that justification to other students. Through this technique, students learn to work in pairs, and make and justify their own decisions. It also requires all students to engage with the lesson topic.

IDEA - Use of IdeaBoardz for Six Thinking Hats Methods
Six Thinking Hats is associated with idea parallel thinking and provides a means for groups to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way, and in doing so to think together more effectively. Is a strategy that teaches students to be flexible thinkers. Students learn about six different types of thinking they can apply to any situation, represented by different coloured hats:

White Hat: "the Factual Hat" – facts perspective
Red Hat: "the Hat for the Heart" – feelings perspective
Blue Hat: "the Conductor's Hat" – process perspective
Green Hat: "the Creative Hat" – creativity perspective
Yellow Hat: "the Optimist's Hat" – benefits perspective
Black Hat: "the Judge's Hat" – cautions perspective
