Jamboard Reviews

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

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.

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

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

I most like that Jamboard allows any number of team members on a Meet call to simultaneously doodle and type ideas on a whiteboard that is visible to all participants. This solves even a real-life in person meetings pain point of everyone's idea being pinned up close for everyone else's review.

I least like that Jamboard isn't marketed enough by Google or isn't available as a separate product outside of Meet calls. This could help ramp up adoption and usage of the tool before anyone has to use it while on a collaborative call.

The simplicity and ease of use of the software is nice and really does feel like the nearest thing to a old style blackboard/whiteboard.

The lack of features available can make this software package limited to the functionality it come offer to the end user.

I really like how jam board feels like a bit of a gamification. Often people aren’t the most outspoken or like to communicate in a different way. I think jamboard does a great of allowing everyone to feel engagement and motivated during ideation stages.

Everything is great with the tool. I have nothing to put here.

It is colourful and easy to use, allows multiple people to share ideas

I do not see any negatives in my normal use of the product

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

It needs more graphical and annotation tools.

I have been thoroughly enjoying this software since its conception. Students tend to really appreciate it when we begin using it

I don't like that fact that its leaving. Unless if Google provides something I am a a bit sad to let it go.

Easy to jot down ideas of everyone during the meetings.

Isn’t effective for letting multiple individuals write at the same time

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.

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

It was easy to use, it offered a good variety of tools to use, it was simple, it kept the kids engaged virtually!

Teaching online, in general was hard at first, so the initial process of it, but once I learned it, it was easy.

Jamboard is user-friendly. This is perfect for remote meetings where no one agrees. Jamboard desperately needed the "shapes" feature. Use-friendly

Font format, sticky notes, and color options are limited. Notes only, not JAMs. Templates would be nice. figma's increased features and same level of cooperation made it preferable for design sprints.

The concept is simple and it is so easy to learn to use, there is basically no training needed, just a few minutes of experimenting with the tools. It helps you get to your real work quickly and saves your time by not needing to figure out how to use it.

It would be too simple for more complicated things, like if you wanted to create a really nice image. But I don't see that as the purpose... it's more of a literal blank canvas to get your ideas down.

As a K-12 Instructional Technologist, I use and recommend Jamboard quite often. Jamboard is a great place for teachers and students to collaborate, share ideas, and respond to learning. I commonly use Jamboard during Professional Development for teachers to leave sticky notes and brainstorm with colleagues in addition to providing feedback for me.

I love all of the updates Jamboard has made this year. Teachers wanted a way to insert text without using a sticky note and that was added this year. They have also requested to be able to lock items in place so that those interacting with their Jamboard won't be able to delete the items.

Jamboard is quite easy to use. You can share the digital canvas with students or colleagues and work/brainstorm together. Also, it is tightly integrated with the Gmail account and the whole ecosystem.

I can't get over the fact that you can not make a canvas full screen. It's the thing that comes up most of the time and it should be there from day one. Also, I would like to be able to create a Jamboard from any place on Google Drive and not just have them accumulate on the same folder.

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

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

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

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

This software was an easy platform for students to be in different places but still be able to all view the same assignment and collaborate together.

When uploading screenshots, the users were able to move the background and there was no way to lock the background in place.

We can present, teach, share and compile ideas on to the Jamboard with its virtual multicolored post-it notes. I have also used it as a tool to answer questions, gather ideas, and signups for other activities.

I like most of its features, perhaps if we had the option for each post-it to automatically be placed on the blank parts of the board, as opposed to, being piled on top of each other, as people write on them.
