Fly to Third: April 2020

I have fallen in love with Boom Cards. Why? Here are my top 3 reasons.

1.) Teacher Control- the teacher has total control over the content he/she wants to have their student's practice. You can customize your own decks of cards or purchase pre-made ones for the unique learning needs of your students!

2.) Highly Motivating for Students- Students earn coins and badges as they work through decks. Your students will get immediate feedback and they can pace themselves at their own rate of learning.

3.) Quick Prep- You can go paperless with Boom. That means no copying, laminating or printing. This is interactive learning that is ready to go. You can use boom on an interactive whiteboard or tablet of any type.

Setting up your Grid- What is a grid anyway?

A grid is the "class" for your class in Flipgrid. You can create as many grids as you want for the classes you teach. Within the grid, you post topics which are like assignments to your students.

When you begin setting up your grid you have a few choose how your want your students to login.

1.) Login ID (I recommend for K-3)
2.) Email (grades 3 and up_
3.) PLC for public if you are doing this with your team of teachers or for PD purposes.

Assigning a Topic

A topic is like the "assignment" in a classroom. Topics can range from saying "Hello" to presenting a project. There are many options in the topics for you to control what comes in or goes out. Watch this VIDEO LINK to learn more about all the choices you have when assigning topics in Flipgrid.
