- Google has announced that it is ending support for Jamboard, the free whiteboarding app integrated into Google Drive, Meet, and Classroom.
This is a big deal for teachers who have built lessons using this unique tool. I've got some important details to share, and some good alternatives to consider.

Will really miss teaching and collaborating with Jamboard, started using it during Covid, with time realised that some options are limited though. Time to move on Look forward to using figjam. Thanks for the video
Same here!
Oh, no. So sad about that. I miss the Jamboard 😢. Thanks for the information John
The point of using Jamboard was exactly its simplicity. Jamboard is very kids friendly. I'm used to have my students interacting with me on jamboard because it has clean UI with simple intuitive buttons. I'm afraid it will not be the same with other platforms. They can be quite overwhelming for kids. Rip jamboard.
Well said.
Can you go from the individual frame (thumbnail) view to something more like Jamboard where students can progress through the "boards"? In other words, when I click on a frame, I want it to enlarge and look like it did in Jamboard. Thanks in advance for any info. Regards, Lorraine
In which tool?
Google slides has a "filmstrip" view and full screen view, like jamboard.
Figjam is an infinite canvas...you zoom in to work and zoom out to move.
Is there any chance that Google won´t end the support for the Jamboard? What do you think? It is a great tool for education - sweet & simple.
Doesn't look like it. My understanding is that Jamboard was technically a business project, but wasn't popular with business customers. The EDU team didn't have the personnel to manage it, so it was discontinued. 😓
What of the physical Jamboards? The displays with jamboard and hangout apps built in?
Google indicated that they would be compensating customers who recently purchased physical Jamboards. You should receive communication from your reseller if you are eligible for a refund.
What does this mean for the current Level 2 exam? Would a change not go into effect until January 2024?
No immediate changes, but the jamboard questions will be removed sometimes next year, I expect
Huh
Any good replacements you guys know of?
I am currently making a project with a friend and there's vital information there so I need to move it somewhere we both can access
I suggested five alternatives in this video.
@@jrsowash thanks!
