Week 5: Infused Classroom: Jamboard

What is Jamboard?

Jamboard is a collaborative Google extension that acts like a whiteboard. When using Jamboard, teachers can allow students to access the board, or only allow them to view it. All templates can then be saved within your Google Drive, so that they are easily accessible when needed.


Uses for Jamboard:

- Helps students organize their thoughts
- Give feedback to others
- Use sticky notes to help direct focus

How can educators use Jamboard?

Jamboard is a great way for educators to implement visual thinking routines. Educators can solve problems, write notes, or model thinking using their template. They can also add graphics and include captions to create engaging activities that can be shared with students. Students can then collaborate and display their thinking on the template.

    Hi Kayla,

    I've heard about Jamboard at a few tech conferences I've been to for education, but I've never actually used the application. I would love to use it after a whole class reading lesson when my students are answering their comprehension questions with a partner. I think I would even try and incorporate it during the actual whole group reading of our story for the week and they can practice taking notes while listening which I think would make answering the questions that much easier. Thanks for sharing!

    Kayla,
    This is a tool that I learned about as part of JCPS's NTI. Is this a tool you are using in your classroom?
