Likelihood to Recommend 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!

It is very useful when brainstorming ideas, and solutions for a particular use case. It sometimes gives solutions to the problems we might not have thought about yet. The on-the-go whiteboard gives us a blank slate for new ideas and more collaborations.

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!
Read full review I use Stormboard for coordination because it seems easier to use than the rest. In terms of courses, we choose the software depending on our course objectives and how tech-savvy we believe the prof and audience are.
Miro is more complete, I believe, it has a ton of features and templates.
Read full review Return on Investment 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.
