Check out Jamboard!
Hello everyone, today we will talk about Jamboard. Let's jump in!
Jamboard is at its simplest state a whiteboard application. It can add so much more fun to the boring old whiteboard in every classroom. You can do so much with it to your classes if you project a jamboard session on the wall or the board through the projector and connect your students through their phones or tablets to the session. You can create groups and each group can work on their own boards.
Jamboard allows you to add images to the background or use images containing activities on the board and your students can write or draw on your images. Your students can also add their own images, text or sticky notes to the board. You can create interactive lectures this way where students can connect with each easier. Also it allows you to monitor the entire class through your own screen. It is super advantagous when you want everyone to share their ideas with the rest of the class. If you have 25 students in a classroom, it will be near impossbile to give them 25 pen and have them fit 25 hands on the whiteboard. However, you can easily accommodate 25 of them on the virtual environment.
On top of all this, there are lots of templates online fit for various types of lectures. As a teacher you can download one of these and easily incorporate them to your jamboard. That way it makes planning for classes very easy as well. Check jamboard out yourselves as well!
