Jam Out Illustrating and Writing With Google’s Jamboard Web Tools

Google’s Jamboard web tool is like an endless notebook of paper with simplified drawing and text features. Each Jamboard can be shared with others to collaborate on. Jamboards can also be printed out as PDFs.  

What could Jamboard be used for?

• Students can write and illustrate a story that can easily be shared, or be printed out as PDFs when shared with the teacher
• Daily Journal Entries
• Brainstorming
• Working out math problems – math journals (this would work best with the Chromebook 365 model with tablet mode and inking)
• Global collaboration projects

Try Jamboard

Click here or on the image above to try it out. We started a Jamboard to collaboratively write and illustrate a book about spring time. We would love to have you add a page to it.
