All 4 account tiers have access to FastPlay. All my decks so far have audio added so they can be used by ELLs at lower levels of language proficiency who might have a hard time reading the text on some of the cards.ĭifferent types of vocab cards in my Boom resources source: The ESL NexusįastPlay allows teachers to assign decks to students for a limited number of days.

Right now, Boom Learning is offering free membership to qualifying educators through June 30, 2020. * The highest tier is the Ultimate level, which is the most expensive at US$35/year but has the most options available and also enables you to sell decks in the Boom Learning store.
* Next up are the Basic and Power tiers which are reasonably priced (currently US$15 and US$25 per year, respectively) and have more functionality. * The first tier is the free account, called Starter it’s for a very limited number of students and you can only create 5 decks yourself. * They work on computers, tablets, and smartphones which offers greater access if you don’t have enough computers for each student it also means they can be used at home as long as students have access to a smartphone. * Depending on the type of your Boom Learning account, you can get reports that track how your students did when they use decks. * You can assign Boom Cards with Google Classroom™ as well as some other platforms. * They can be used as a whole class activity on an interactive whiteboard or individually if students all have a device. * They are self-checking: Students will immediately find out if their answers are correct or incorrect. * They are interactive: Students must engage with the cards in a game-like manner, which helps keep them motivated. * They are self-grading: You’ll save time assessing students’ work because the cards automatically indicate right and wrong responses. * They are low-prep: You’ll save time because students just need an internet connection and a device to use them. * They are visually appealing: Since they are digital, they are in color and you don’t have to worry about using up printer ink. * They exist only online: You’ll save paper because you don’t need to print them. For example, if you buy 225 points, that costs US$3.00 but if you buy 10,000 points, that costs US$98 and saves you 27%. The more points you purchase, the bigger a discount you get.
Unlike on TeachersPayTeachers and elsewhere, you must first purchase a certain number of points, then you use those points instead of money to buy the decks. (It took me a while before I figured that out.) There are quite a few free decks available. Hosted on the Boom Learning℠ teaching platform, each Boom Cards resource is called a deck.
