Boom Learning is a great tool for your classroom! The site hosts what they call boom cards which is really their name for digital, interactive task cards. These cards allow for digital manipulatives (no need to cut anything out!) and have the option to give you data on each student’s progress. Boom cards in Spanish class can give you all sorts of options to practice and give your students more comprehensible input in an engaging way!
Sounds great, right? It is! Let’s look at them a little closer.
