What are Boom Cards?

Boom Cards are self-checking, interactive digital task cards that student can use on Boom Learning’s platform. They are created by professionals, such as teachers, speech language pathologists, etc. in order to provide an engaging way for students to learn remotely or in person. They are an amazing asset for a classroom as Boom Cards creators can embed a variety of tools, such as words, images, and even sounds to their decks. Therefore, second language learners could greatly benefit from using Boom Cards.
