BOOM CARDS
Mrs. Beavers sent over an email she had received about lessons for Spanish that were created as Boom Cards. Since I had never heard of them before, I did some investigation and learned of a new tech tool to share.
What are Boom Cards? “Boom Cards are digital, self-grading exercises that are gamified for students and provide the data teachers want”.
Watch this short video for a quick overview.
How does it work? Boom cards contains a marketplace where teachers can sell already created card sets to each other. Once you have created your account, you can access the marketplace or create your own. When you create your own cards, you can add video and sound. You can choose to make your deck private or public.
Is it free? Not really. It is free to use and there are some boom decks that are free to add to your library but most do cost. The site uses a points system which can be earned or purchased with money. In addition, there are several layers of membership. The free membership version lets you have access to five decks and five students. If you want more, you will need to upgrade to the Basic membership which cost $15.00-$25.00 a year. If you want to sell your own Boom cards, you will need to upgrade which cost $35.00 a year.
