Twelve Reasons to Use Boom Learning Digital Task Cards!

There are so many reasons to use Boom Learning Digital Task Cards!

In fact, here are twelve!

#1

They can be used on any device!

Seriously, any device! Desktops, laptops, iPads, tablets, iPhones, androids, you name it! It's easy!

#2

They're paperless! 

Unless you want to print out a report, there's no paper involved, ever! There's plenty of practice and assessments for the children, and you can even read all sorts of reports, but no paper!

 

#3

Kids love them!

They really do!

#4

Teachers love them!

What's not to love? Easy to use, plenty of feedback, the kids love them... and read on!

#5

They can easily be assigned for homework or remote learning!

Parents do love seeing what their children are doing, don't they? It's so easy to send an assignment to the children. (It can be sent through Google Classroom and other platforms, too!)

#6

They can be used while the teacher is with with a group!

Boom cards make great centers! They definitely keep the students engaged while the teacher is working with others!

 

#7

They can be used with partners for rich conversations!

 

When you get a couple of kids together, they have amazing conversations! These conversations help the children understand what they're learning.

#8

It's easy to differentiate!

It's amazingly easy to assign different levels of practice to different students. The teacher can look at the data and determine if the child is ready to move on to the next level.

"Getting to the next level" is very motivating with Building Fact Fluency Addition and Subtraction System Boom Cards Bundle and Building Fact Fluency System Multiplication and Division Boom Cards Bundle.

#9

It's easy to explore and download valuable data!

It's amazingly easy to find information about what the children are doing. I've been known to share this information with students, especially if they're not doing their best on their assignments. (Yes, they've been known to "click through" just to be done) Once I show them their data, we have a little conversation and I always see improvements! (Especially on those math fact fluency systems mentioned above!)

#10

It's interactive and gives immediate feedback!

 

Brain research tells us that immediate feedback is essential in order for learning to happen. Each card of a Boom Learning deck tells the child immediately if they answered correctly or not. Even if they miss the answer, learning is happening. When they've finished the deck, they are rewarded with badges and "gems" depending on how successful they are. (These are very motivating!)
