Jamboard Tips
Prevent changes to objects that you want to stay on a board by adding a transparent square over the entire board which will serve as a 'cover' for the other objects. In this way, students can continue to edit, but anything under the invisible cover remains protected.
Use Templates as background to make Jams more interesting.
Create custom backgrounds using a presentation tool like Google Slides, PowerPoint, or Canva.
Use color to help students identify the correct page in a Jam for their group. (Red group on the red page.)
