Have you ever learned about a new instructional tool or strategy and wondered how you managed to teach before it existed? Well, if you have never used or heard of BOOM Cards™ before, you’re about to have that moment. You can thank me later. 😉
In case you’re late to the party, Boom Cards™ are digital, time-saving task cards. No printing. No cutting. No recording sheets for kids to log answers on. Everything is digital, interactive, and FUN!
Teachers everywhere are jumping on the Boom Card™ bandwagon, but in case you need some extra encouragement, here are some perks of making the switch to digital. (And make sure you check out the FREE Boom Cards™ deck I’m sharing just with my readers below!)
Immediate Feedback
Boom Cards™ immediately tell students whether they have gotten their answer correct or not. The traditional, paper/pencil version of task cards requires students to work through an entire set before turning a paper in to you for you to check. By the time they know if they were doing the work correctly, they’ve already finished the assignment! Digital task cards let students know when they need to try again, preventing students from wasting too much time doing something incorrectly!
Versatile
However you have used task cards in your classroom, you can make them digital with Boom Cards™! Vocabulary practice, math skills, reading strategies, grammar, science or social studies topics…the list is endless! Teach your students how to use one platform, and open up a world of topics for them to practice.
Incorporate Technology
We all know the importance of exposing our students to 21st century skills in our classrooms. However, the challenge comes when we don’t have access to purposeful programs for our students to use. Boom Cards™ eliminates all of that! You have control over what your students practice, and you know that they won’t be going to a “store” or playing non-academic games for brain breaks that so many educational websites offer. These task cards are focused, rigorous, and digital! That’s the best of all worlds!
After you’ve tried out that EXCLUSIVE freebie, you may be looking for more! You can see the sets I have already made, which are easy to implement in your classrooms immediately! Plus, I have all of my sets bundled, which saves you money, as well!
