Google Jamboard is ideal for live, synchronous sessions to support collaboration and engagement. It can be used for the entire class, small group, or independent work. Create a Jamboard for a simple student knowledge check, or annotation exercise, or sorting activity. Insert a Google document, spreadsheet, or presentation, and have students annotate the file. There are many types of active learning activities you can do with a Google Jamboard!

Google Jamboard is a much simpler tool. This is not necessarily a bad thing e.g. if I just want to set up a warm-up exercise for students before we start the session using Miro would be flash over substance. Do not get me wrong, everyone who knows me knows I love Miro but I also appreciate the simplicity and a variety of tools I can use. Another product that TrustRadius does not take into consideration is Padlet or MS Whiteboard. Another argument supporting the choice of Google Jamboard, especially for Google users, is that is kind of part of the package. Non-Google users are also welcome!

Incentivized

• The UI is not really improved, which has a huge scope for improvement
• Wish there is a in-built chat or some sort of mechanism to communicate with the alumni
• Great algorithm that's running behind though

Incentivized

• Faculty love having an active learning tool that's easy to use in synchronous sessions.
• Not as well known as other Google apps like Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
• Can be used synchronously (for live engagement) or asynchronously (for self-paced learning).
• Easy to miss in the Google Suite or forget it's available to use.
