Google Jamboard
Jamboard is an online interactive whiteboard tool designed for cross-platform collaboration. Create a Jam—what Google calls each collaboration session—in seconds, add up to 20 frames (pages) per Jam, and share it with up to 50 collaborators at once in real-time. Search Google, insert images from Drive or web pages, add Sticky Notes, text, and emojis, or use the shape recognition tool to add perfect shapes to the Jam. Jamboard seems to do it all.
This page houses resources on Google Jamboard including livestreams, documents, links to resources, and ideas for implementation. As with all applications, please feel free to reach out to the Educational Technology Team.
NOTE: There is also an actual physical whiteboard Google makes called Jamboard. They do not have the same features, so make sure when you are looking for information, you are not looking at things designed for the hardware version of the Jamboard.
This Get Your Jam on with Jamboard livestream reviews how to access Google Jamboard through the App launcher, how to create new Jams, and many examples of how you can integrate Jamboard into your teaching including Frayer Models, sorts, and even Scrum-lite activities.
