I love it when I discover a new way for students to learn that will help teachers
and make their lives easier.
I haven't been this excited about creating new lessons in a long time. For years, I tried to present lessons that students could complete on the computer and have fun while learning. The problem was that there was no way for them to have immediate feedback, and the teacher had to grade what they had done.
Next came task cards, but still, the teacher had to get involved to provide feedback and grades.
And now, there are BOOM cards. Rachel Lynette, a veteran TpT member, and an expert on task cards teamed up with an innovative company to make digital BOOM cards. Now, students can practice concepts they have learned by "playing" BOOM cards. They get immediate feedback, and if they get the answer wrong they can try again. And, even better, they are self-grading. The teacher gets a report on all student activity.
It's amazing. Students ask for them. They LOVE playing BOOM cards.
Try it for yourself:
The exciting thing is that you can create your own BOOM Cards and tailor them to your students' needs. You can use them for practice and for quizzes. You can find out what you need to know here.
BOOM decks are not expensive and they save the teacher so much time. Most of the ones I created come with a mini-lesson. If you would like to see more examples of BOOM cards, click here.
Note: If you have an idea for BOOM cards that you would like for me to create for your students, send me an email at charlenetess@yahoo.com.

Thanks for sharing this information about Boom cards, they sound like a great way to help your kids have fun while learning.
ReplyDeleteI am excited about this because teachers can quickly set up a quiz after teaching a lesson. Students can play the Book card deck and they are self-grading. Instant feedback is such a great thing for students to have.
ReplyDeleteI have been interested in Boom Cards for some time. Thanks for a great intro to them!
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing about these for awhile. Maybe it's time to dive in! Thanks!
