JAMBOARDS
JAMBOARDS
Jamboards allow us to create interactive materials for students. You can create drag and drop style activities and collaborate with students in read time using Jamboard. Drag and drop activities are more user friendly in this tool versus other spaces, like Google Slides for example. Bottom line, if you are looking for visually engaging, interactive and accessible activities for students, Jamboards are your best bet.
