Jamboard

Avantages

The most impactful feature may be the Sticky notes- with their bright colors and the option to change their places on the board or rotate them. They are great for writing short remarks, questions, and comments. They might be used as exit tickets at the end of each lesson. As a whole, it is very easy to use this digital whiteboard. You can integrate it immediately into your teaching.

Inconvénients

There are some drawbacks when using the Jamboard. For instance, you cannot embed videos. But you can use animated pictures, also Bitmoji, and Google Chrome Extensions (for files).
Some teachers (and students) might find it difficult to draw on the board with a mouse. In this case, they can use their phones and make the drawings with fingers.

Avantages

I liked that you are able to colloborate and share thoughts and responses in a live platform.

Inconvénients

I have used Padlet and it took me a few minutes to discern between Padlet and Jamboard.

Avantages

Quick integration with Google Meet.
Easy to bring to a meet and to share later.

Inconvénients

Hard to use.
Limited tools and icons.
Limited functions.

Avantages

It has all the basics to be used as a traditional whiteboard but this one is in the cloud, so it is excellent for situations where you are collaborating with the work team, as it is integrated with google classroom, then it is just a matter of integrating or presenting the whiteboard you had already made to the team and have a more dynamic and efficient work. Its tools are the most basic, which is why I could call it a very complete whiteboard since it could also be seen as a PowerPoint in motion and editable in real-time, but in google.
Another thing that I really liked is that the audience can also interact on the board, so it becomes a more dynamic board for companies looking to brainstorm and have everyone contribute to something.

Inconvénients

What is left to be said about Jamboard is that the free version comes with very limited tools, but as I almost always say, Google software always tries to bring the most complete to the free versions, so it will be a tool that you can try sometime and work collaboratively either with your on-site or remote team.

Avantages

What I love about this app is how interactive and easy it is to use. My 7 year old daughter uses this software during her class sessions to interact in her class with her peers and teacher. This software is so user friendly that she can use this software on her own with minimal assistance from me. She really enjoys drawing her shapes, sets, engaging in her math lesson while the teacher is expounding on the lesson. When we are recapping we also use the software so she can express herself and what she learnt in class.

Inconvénients

This software needs to be more accessible on different devices. Its hard logging on to it from a phone or a tablet, if it is even possible.

Avantages

Easy to use, very simple to understand how to use it.

Inconvénients

It needs more graphical and annotation tools.

Avantages

What I like about this platform is that you can interact with your students and colleagues at the same time from their phones, tablets, and PCs. It's integrated with Google Meet, which makes it a basic tool for all your meetings. Also, you can add images, notes, change the background, and use different types of pencils and shapes, which makes it more creative and fun.

Inconvénients

For those who are not used to it, Jamboard works like slides instead of an infinite page, which can lose the sequence or relationship of the notes. It would be good if the developers added tools to interact with the images on the board and select the objects, also add more fonts and a color palette.

Avantages

Since Jamboard is made by Google, I can integrate other tools such as Google Docs and Drive to import and export content.

Inconvénients

Jamboard has a restrictive formatting options. Each presentation is unique and you may want to tweak some things to detail before publishing it but Jamboard does not allow that.

Avantages

I love that this is a free resource so it is not a strain on students financially. The post-it notes are simple and easy to use. There are lots of templates to use both in our classroom discussion and for my students to use with their K-12 classes and tutees.

Inconvénients

I wish the pen function was a bit more precise and a wider variety of colors would be nice.

Avantages

I love all of the little stickies and text boxes! It makes it easy for the team to write a short note or write a detailed idea! It's also easy to color code everything to keep it organized.

Inconvénients

I don't like the sketching tool it's too clunky and hard to use for people that don't have a mouse.

Avantages

Enables the user to creat and interact with digital content in real-time

Inconvénients

I recommend it because of it is good functionality

Avantages

I liked how my colleagues were able to edit ideas in real time from their own device

Inconvénients

It was kinda glitchy with 20 participants within the jamboard

Avantages

Jamboard is easy and accessible. I also appreciate that the boards I create remain private, unlike other whiteboard programs that require a premium membership for private boards. Another great thing about Jamboard is that it doesn't slow down by very old laptop. As it is connected to Google, it is also quite easy to ask people to use Jamboard, or invite them to collaborate on my boards.

Inconvénients

I wish there were more ways to format the stickies. Although having different colors is surely helpful, more heading/text options would be incredibly helpful as well. Overall I'm looking to map things out, and when I'm looking to understand the branching or mapping of an idea or project, the more I can differentiate elements the better I can see the big picture.

Avantages

I like that is user friendly and has several drawing tools I need to . I also like that I can now zoom in the board. I love that my students can can see each others answer where they can do collaboration or correction in their math solutions.

Inconvénients

It would be nice if there is an option where I can store my jams in a folder. It's a hassle that every time I open the jam board I would see plenty jam board at once. If it's in folder, I can categorize my jams then, and will make it easier for me to see which activity to use in a particular class.

It would be great too if there's an option in the tool bar where I can lock the jam when it's time for us to go over the jam activity to control students in messing and playing with the jam during instruction time.

Please include tool for mathematics.

Avantages

Jamboard lets us collaborate with other team members during a conference call. Jamboard is also a hardware device while most of us know it as a web application seen mostly in Google Meet. It is available on mobile devices too.

Jamboard allows adding images or an entire webpage and do some drawings on it. The drawings are automatically converted to clean shapes and the drawings can be included in Google docs apps like Google Docs, Sheets and Slides.

Jamboard is most commonly used in Google Meets where up to 50 participants can collaborate at once.

Inconvénients

Every time a Jamboard is created via Google Meet (Jamboard is integrated with Google Meet and can be create with a single click) a new Jamboard is created instantly. But the problem is each participant has to request permission to view it and the creator has to grant permissions separately, which is not practical in the case of a meeting with hundreds of people. Perhaps this is one of the reason why it is not extensively used in Google Meets.

Avantages

Jamboard is a great tool for online collaboration. It is possible to work on the same board simultaneously and brainstorm. The basic functions are easy to use.

Inconvénients

It is online tool which means you need to have stable internet connection. Also the design tools are maybe too simple - I would appreciate more advanced tools to create better looking boards.

Avantages

It is already a part of G-suite, so massive effort is saved and little reason to choose any external product. It just acts like any other document or productivity application from Google- easy to collaborate, store in G-Drive, Share with Colleagues, works in Cloud, etc. It is also simple to use and quite straightforward. This application solved our need for a online shared whiteboard requested by team working remotely.

Inconvénients

It is a web application, so you have be online just like other G-suite applications. Further it may be too simple and skimps on certain features. You can't add in files, only images are permitted. The UI is not great as the actual area for working is small due to large headers like other usual applications- Google sheets, Google docs,etc. Further, people didn't knew about this and the IT team had to educate about the existence of this software.

Avantages

This makes our class interactive and fun! You can draw, type a message, insert a picture using jamboard! Because of jamboard our class is not boring. So, as an education student, we are also using this when we are doing our online presentation so we can get our class involved in discussion and make our class interactive and fun!

Inconvénients

I do not have any complain about this software. I love this and it's also free.

Avantages

A good product if you want to share small snippets or meeting notes with the entire team. You can also create it as a personal wall and ask your team to write whatever they want on the board.

Inconvénients

I wish there were options to change and use various fonts. Creative options are a bit less and that can be improved.

Avantages

That it merges with all the other Google products and that it is so so easy to use. We could simply jump on and start using it

Inconvénients

The tools for editing and sketching are quite simple and basic. Maybe some more tools could offer a richer experience.

Avantages

Great for group collaboration and facilitates many different ideas coming together.

Inconvénients

Wish there was a feature to change fonts so that notes can stand apart from others just like different handwriting.

Avantages

When looking for tools to make your team collaboration better, Jamboard is what you are looking for. Jamboard can make sharing of ideas easy and fun.

Inconvénients

None so far. For me, Jamboard is the best tool to do brainstorming with your team and making real time connections.

Avantages

Jamboard is great for brainstorming with teammates during virtual meetings. It has been a great solution for us since we have all been working from home during the pandemic. Our Product team also asked me how they would be able to continue doing whiteboarding sessions with candidates since we can no longer do in person interviews. I was happy to be able to recommend this software to them. Jamboard is great for taking notes and presenting concepts in an easy to understand and visually appealing way.

Inconvénients

I would like to be able to write text directly on the board without needing to use a sticky note since that can be distracting.

Avantages

Jamboard enhances collaboration during live sessions and meetings. It is useful for virtual classes for all subject areas. Students and teachers can interact with the software.

Inconvénients

It takes some amount of getting used to especially to draw diagrams. The students sometimes had difficulties manipulating the software to do their sketches

Avantages

Jamboard is a quick and easy interactive whiteboard software. It has many easy to use tools, such as sticky notes, drawing, adding pictures, and more. Multiple people can join the Jamboard online to edit and view it simultaneously, which makes it great for collaboration! On top of that, because Jamboard is a part of the Google Suite, any board you make is automatically saved on your Google Drive, and as someone who often forgets where documents are stored, that is amazing!

Inconvénients

The software doesn’t have quite as many features as other interactive whiteboard softwares, such as SMART. Also, similar to SMART, the software is great, but the hardware can be very expensive.
