Boom Cards are interactive digital task cards that are self-grading. They live in the cloud and are hosted on the Boom Learning platform. A group of slides is often referred to as a slide deck. Teachers can build their Boom Library by creating their own decks or purchasing individual digital activities that have been created for them. Teachers can then assign the tasks by logging into the Boom Learning website. Decks play on most modern browsers, Android, iPads, iPhones, and Kindle Fires. Not sure your browser is modern enough?

Why Will You Love Boom Cards? •Easy to differentiate - You can assign different decks to individual students. Some students may complete an activity in January, while others might be ready for that skill later in the school year. You can, also, assign or hide slides from students to shorten or modify assignments. •Immediate Feedback - They are fabulous when it’s come to interactivity. Students will receive instant feedback if they have made an error. Then, they are given an opportunity to correct the mistake…not reinforce it. This provides student accountability while working independently, which makes the activities much more effective! •Interactive Activities - Each Boom deck is unique, so read the specific boom deck description to see the different features each deck has. However, generally, students can drag and drop their responses, click on the correct answer, or even type their responses. New features continue to be added, too; and you’ll have no worries about accidentally resizing pieces like in Google Classroom activities. •Saves time - For a very reasonable price, you can get a paid account that tracks student progress. The cards are automatically graded, and you can see how each student did on every slide in the deck. This will save you SO much time as you gather student data.

This book is intended as a quick, easy to read, easy to understand tutorial on how to read a U.S roadmap--an actual, printed roadmap. Every driver should know the basics of how to interpret the common types of printed maps. -Highway and Interstate maps -City street maps -Rural county maps -Topographical roadmaps -Forest Service maps -Legends and keys Despite the seeming ease of using GPS devices, on-line mapping applications, and other gadgets that provide turn-by-turn instructions, if those digital resources are not functioning, or if you wish to obtain an overview of where you are or what might not be popular enough to appear in the digital mapping, then a paper map or road atlas might save the day. Having a real map in the glove box is wise.
