What is my favorite distance learning tool? Or my favorite digital tool?
In case you don't know..... it's Boom Learning. I got hooked on Boom a couple of years ago. From a teacher's perspective it's awesome. Self-checking. Engaging. Large library of resources to choose from and I can create my own if I wish. But enough about teachers....
From a student's perspective, Boom Learning is a winner. I've put myself in the shoes of a student using my experience as a student (as best I could remember). My attention, even as an adult, is hard to keep in one place. My mind is always wandering to greener pastures. I need something to hold my attention. Something interesting. Colorful. Bright. Take a look.
Bright colors. Interesting design. ⇢ 
Some decks contain slides that aren't so busy. Like this one.
Some decks have clipart or photos added to them.
What does this mean to me, as a student? It means that learning just took a new turn. It's interesting. Even if several lessons use Boom Learning, each deck will be different. The platform will stay the same, but the content and design will vary. I can have the confidence to use Boom Learning, knowing how it works, but my attention will be kept through the variety of lessons available. I like knowing when I get something right. It's also helpful when I know which answer was incorrect. I can learn from my mistakes.
This tells me to reread the passage. ⇢ 
Does Boom Learning or any other Distance Learning tool replace the classroom? No. But there are many tools available that can help students continue to learn when being in the classroom isn't possible.
