I recently wrote an article for Equip from Learning.com, called "How to use Google Jambord for Distance Learning Success". For those of you who do not know what Jamboard is, it's time you know.
Jamboard is an app that is free and included in the G Suite Core of apps. Jamboard can be access from Google Drive and it can be downloaded at the Apple or Google Play store to your mobile device. It is free!
A Jam is a file that can be shared with participants just like any other Google file. It has become very popular especially now during remote learning, because many teachers are using it as a whiteboard.
In my article, I introduce Jamboard, and how you can use other apps with it (app smashing), and how it supports student choice and the 5c's of education. (creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and curation).
I am a firm believer that Jamboard can help students who are visual learners, help students stay organized, allow students to express their creativity and artistic side, and much more.
The picture below demonstrates how a student found an image on the Internet and decided to sketch it on the canvas.
