Google Jamboard

What Does It Do?

 It allows teams to create, edit, and collaborate on projects in real-time from anywhere. Users can add images, text, drawings, and other items to the board, and anyone with access can make changes. It also offers features to allow users to interact with the board, such as voting tools and the ability to comment on items. It is a great way for groups to brainstorm and collaborate on projects.

In the classroom, Google Jamboard can be used to keep track of student progress, present lesson material, create interactive projects and assignments, and record lectures or presentations. It can also be used for breakout sessions where small groups of students can participate in a task or activity. Additionally, teachers can use it to create collaborative assignments, where each student contributes to one part of the final project.
