What can you do in the Boom Google Add-On?
You can Assign and allow your students to access decks without needing to leave Google Classroom!
Getting Started
If you have an empty Library when you enter the Boom Add-On you will be faced with the option to either go to the store to buy deck(s) from our Store or Create decks of your own!
If you are just getting started and you want to test out the Add-On, you can download Free Decks from our store to get started with assigning to your students right away.
Assign
Teachers can assign any deck in their Library with ease!
Find Decks To Add to Your Library
You can access our store at any time by clicking the "Get More Decks" Button.
Reports
The Reports that you know and love will be available in Google Classroom. For quick and easy grading, teachers can post their students' grades to their grade book!
Teachers can choose from 3 options:
- Average
- Best
- Last
If the teacher would like more details about the students plays, they can click the "Show Details" button to see the reports shown below. Including a Performance by Play Session graph, an Accuracy Map, and response time tracker.
Play
Students can play their assigned Boom Decks without leaving Google Classroom!
What's the Difference? Google Add-On vs Boom Site
In the Google Add-On you will not be able to use all features from the Boom site, as this intended to be a condensed "app" available without needing to leave Google Classroom.
As it is a contained app, it will not allow for Classrooms importing to your Boom account through the Add-On. Your students will already be rostered with Google!
You will not be able to create Fast Pins or use Presentation mode.
Printing reports is not available in the Google Add-On.
Students will not earn badges, coins, or lightening bursts for their complete assignments.
If you would like to create a Fast Pin or use Presentation mode with your students, please go to our site directly.
Please note any student data collected in the Google Add-On is not available in our site wow.BoomLearning.com and vice versa. Any data collected or created in our site wow.boomlearning.com, like assignments or reports is not available in the Google Add-On.
Who Can use the Google Add-On?
Only school managed teachers can use the Google Add-On once it is enabled by their Google Admin. For help identifying your Google Admin, check out this article: Find Your Google Add-On Administrator
If you would like to use Google Add-On and your school does not have a school managed account, please contact our Sales team by emailing Sales@boomlearning.com or calling (833) WOW-BOOM for an Estimate.
