Google Jamboard is a physical digital whiteboard (our college has one!) but it is also an online digital whiteboard that is collaborative. Online you can share, view, and create Jams with your students to engage them during class time. All "jams" are saved in Google Drive and are accessible via Google Chrome. You can add images, sticky notes, text, and drawings.
Let's try it out! Open this file and scroll through the frames at the top. You can have a total of 20 frames in one Jam. Go ahead and add to each frame.
To create a file, just go to Drive>New and find Jamboard, find Jamboard in the waffle, or type jamboard.google.com. Like a template, but need to make a copy? Open the template and go to the 3 dots in the upper right and choose "make a copy". You can download PDFs and images from there as well. Use the Share button to get a link or share via email. There's an app for your phone or tablet that will let you add files from Google Drive.
