Jamboard is a collaborative online tool run by Google. Essentially, Jamboard is an online whiteboard. Using this tool students can write and draw, post sticky notes, sketch pictures and more. All students are able to use the Jamboard at the same time, therefore it's an excellent interactive way to communicate. Everyone is able to post their ideas and brainstorm on any topic of the presenter/teachers choosing. Through Jamboard the students can create mind maps to help guide their learning and thinking. It is a great tool to have the class interact and work together on brainstorming. It is also a fun break from the usual raising your hand and answering a question. Since you can draw and sketch students are also able to get creative with their answers and ideas.
An example of using Jamboard in the class could be asking the students to brainstorm ideas on any given topic. Imagine the students are learning about mammals, the teacher can ask students to use the Jamboard to write down or draw whatever comes to mind about mammals. Some examples could include students drawing a picture of a cat or dog, they might write a sticky note saying "warm blooded". It gives the opportunity for students to be creative and have some fun!
