What is jamboard?
Embedded Files
Jamboard is is actually a large piece of hardware. It looks similar to a Smartboard or a Promethean Board, but it is slightly smaller. HOWEVER, we have discovered we can use the Jamboard app as a tool for students to create multiple pages where they have the ability to free draw, insert images, add labels and links. In distance learning mode, we needed a tool for students to be able to draw freely. The jamboard app did the trick for us!
