What are Boom Cards?
Boom cards are interactive digital task cards that are self-checking! They are hosted on the Boom Learning platform. A group of slides is often referred to as a slide deck. Teachers can build their Boom Library by creating their own decks or purchasing individual digital activities that have been created for them. Teachers can then assign the tasks by logging into the Boom Learning website.
Why You Will Love Boom Cards
- Easy to differentiate - You can assign different decks to individual students. Some students may complete an activity in January, while others might be ready for that particular skill later in the school year.
- Audio Instruction - Another key area is how easy Boom Learning is with the audio directions. These verbal instructions and guidance throughout the lessons are an easy way to support student independence! Perfect for kindergarten and first-grade students who are trying to work independently! YES! You will have more time to wok with your small groups!
- Immediate Feedback - They are also fantastic when it’s come to interactivity. Students will receive instant feedback if they have made an error. Then they are given an opportunity to correct the mistake. This provides student accountability while working independently, which makes the activities much more effective!
- Interactive Activities - Each Boom deck is unique, so read the specific boom deck description to see the different features each deck has. However, generally, students can drag and drop their responses, click on the correct answer, or even type their responses. No worries about accidentally resizing pieces like in Google Classroom activities.
- Saves time - For a very reasonable price, you can get a paid account that tracks student progress. The cards are automatically graded, and you can see how each student did on every slide in the deck. This will save you SO much time as you gather student data.
