This article describes how instructors can use Google Jamboard though the UAlberta google tools suite. Jamboard is a collaborative digital whiteboard for capturing and sharing ideas. The platform features intelligent handwriting display, shape recognition, inserting Google Drive files, and adding sticky notes. Jamboard can be used to host in-person, remote brainstorming or planning sessions with teams and are saved automatically in Google Drive.
Although our comms was focused on using this service as a collaborative tool, there has been interest previously from professors to use Jamboard for teaching and learning. We recommend using a tablet/stylus with the mobile app (iOS & Android) as the best experience but the web client can be just as effective depending on the scenario.
