The Story Behind Stick Pick
Stick Pick began in my classroom more than 15 years ago. I wanted a simple way to make participation more equitable while asking better questions—so I built one.The original Stick Pick became an app used by teachers around the world. Eventually, technology moved on and Stick Pick disappeared from the App Store. But the idea never did.
Buzz Garwood
Educator & Creator of Stick PickAfter another 13 years in the middle school classroom, I rebuilt Stick Pick from the ground up—not simply to bring the old app back, but to create the teaching companion I wish I'd had all along. Today's Stick Pick brings together questioning, formative assessment, differentiation, small-group instruction, and the everyday decisions teachers make while they teach.Designed for the classroom. Built by a teacher.
