Whole Group Wonders: Interactive Lessons on the Big Screen
Say goodbye to traditional chalk-and-talk methods and hello to whole-group engagement with Boom Cards. Project them on your interactive TV or smart board, turning your classroom into a digital wonderland. Use Boom Cards to introduce new concepts or reinforce existing ones. Take it up a notch by giving each student a dry-erase board at their desk. When you give students a dry-erase board, you get the whole class actively learning with Boom Cards. For example, with a CVC short vowel Boom deck, students can find the answer and then get creative by spelling words with different sounds. Have students change the beginning, medial, or ending sound to make new words. Learning just got a tech-savvy makeover!
