Google Jamboard

What is the Google Jamboard App?

The Google Jamboard App is a digital whiteboard that incorporates lots of Google 'goodness' to facilitate communication, collaboration and learning.

In a Jam, you can:

• collaborate with others in a whiteboard environment
• add Docs, Sheets, Slides & PDF's from Drive
• add photos and images
• search the web
• draw and utilize autodrawing
• write and utilize handwriting recognition
• add sticky notes
• add emojis and more!
  
  

There is a physical Jamboard (55-inch digital whiteboard); however, it costs a lot. 😢 The great news is the Jamboard app is free with GSuite for Education and can be used across all devices - laptops, tablets, and smartphones. 😃

Locate your Jamboard app in your Google Apps Launcher (aka the waffle). 

Jamboard allows for 50 concurrent collaborators working together - so yes, you can have your entire class in one Jamboard brainstorming or gathering research! 

Here is a quick video introducing you to Jamboard. (This video highlights how you would use Jamboard with a business team, but its functions are applicable to the classroom.)

Here is a longer Google for Education video about using Jamboard in the classroom.
