I used this with my students to help them review for an upcoming math assessment. I found that students were very engaged in the program. They were able to complete these cards on their own with little redirection. However, some of the cards were very specific to how a given teacher would teach them. I also found a few incorrect answers within the card sets. Students enjoyed getting a new card after answering the first. If the question was answered incorrectly, no reteaching was provided. Students just continue to selecting answers without gaining knowledge of how this new answer would be correct.
Under the reports tab of your Boom Learning page, we are able to see how the students did with each Boom card deck. You can select a card deck to get more specific information. The red color circle shows that a student hasn't completed a full cycle of the deck yet. A green circle shows that all the cards have been answers, and the number in the inside shows how many times they have cycled through that deck. The percentage next to the circle shows their accuracy with the deck, and the time shows how long it has taken them to complete the deck. You can also click on the individual students to see more specific information like what questions they missed, how they have progressed over the multiple uses of the deck, and to view the specific questions.
Boom Learning Cards have an interesting approach to review and practice. Careful viewing of cards and review of data could make the implementation of this tech tool more successful within the classroom.
