Q: Since STAAR 2.0 is an online test, are the Boom Cards a digital product?
A: Yes, Boom Cards are digital, and students can access them through an iPad, computer, or Chromebook. The cards are interactive and self-checking!
Q: Do I have to pay for an account on Boom?
A: No. Whether you have the free or the paid version, your students can access our Boom Cards. You must have a Boom Card account to use them.
A free account offers a fast play option where students receive a link, and they can practice the Boom Cards independently. You can also make the cards display on a whiteboard so the entire class can engage through a whole group setting.
For the paid version, you get additional features such as building classes, assigning decks (Boom cards) to students, viewing reports of how your students progress, and having unlimited decks. For more details on the memberships, visit Boom Learning and scroll to the bottom of the page.
Q: Why should my students use Boom Cards?
A: The great thing about Boom Cards that makes it helpful is that they are interactive.
As my students progress through the questions, they hear sound effects that let them know if they got the correct answer or if their answer is incorrect. They receive immediate feedback that is meaningful to them as they see right then and there if they are on the right track.
We are also providing audio clips for students that require oral accommodations so they can hear the questions and answers read aloud.
Finally, we have open-ended responses where students practice typing skills to answer the questions in complete sentences.
With the various question types available, my students are much more confident in their ability to tackle questions when they face online assessments.
Your students will be begging for more!
