Assigning Decks to your Imported Students
Now that your students have been imported to a Boom Learning classroom, you can assign Boom Card decks to them through both Boom Learning and Google Classroom.
If you do not need your student's performance tracked, and only want to use the deck as practice or review, simply create a Fast Pin from your Library and post it as an assignment in your Google Classroom. If you want detailed student reports, you can use a Hyperplay Link instead of a Fast Pin. Hyperplay links require a student to log in before they can play the deck.
For detailed instructions on how to assign decks to your Google Classroom students, please refer to this guide: Assigning Boom Cards in Google Classroom.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common problems you may experience, along with the most probable solutions. For detailed troubleshooting steps, please refer to our separate guide: Troubleshooting: Google Classrooms.
If your imported Google roster is missing student(s), it may be because...
- The student has not fully joined the Google Classroom
- The student has a teacher account
- Your teacher account has reached its student limit
If a student can't sign in, it may be because...
- The student is not signing in with Google
- The student has not been imported from Google Classroom yet and does not have a Boom account made
If a student can't see assignments, it may be because...
- Decks have not been assigned to your classroom
- The student has a teacher account or is logged into a different account
