In this video, I'm going to introduce you to Jamboard. It's one of the newest suites in Google. To get to it, you can go to a Google page and click on where you will see the apps. I'm doing this on a Windows operating system. You click on Jamboard. Jamboard opened up. I have some projects already. I'm going to start a new one to show you how it works. This is what Jamboard looks like on a desktop, and also it has apps for iOS and Android systems. I'm going to show you also one on my iPad just to see the differences. Here we are on a blank Jamboard. What I like about it is that it works like a whiteboard where you can use sticky notes. Sticky notes, as you know, it's a great way of collaborating on projects, so if I just type things, the sticky notes will appear, and you can be working on a group that has access to your Jamboard, and then you can collaborate on creating a project network and so on. Something that I will show in another video. Here, I just want to show you the capabilities. These are your pens. You can have different styles and different colors, eraser, pointer tool, and the sticky as you just saw. You can add an image. You can add shapes, text-box. This is a laser pointer, so as you talk to each other, you can point out where you want the attention to be and it appears and disappears. You can set the background to different colors or to anything else that you see fit. Of course, you can clear it out. If you need more pages, you can click through this and get new pages, and if you just go down there, you can see where the pages appear. Now, one of the things that happens in Jamboard is that as you collaborate together, it doesn't say who has entered what values or what opinion or anything like that. That's a good thing and a bad thing. If the anonymity helps with them voicing what they want say, that's a great thing. But if you want to have everyone's input, specifically, what you can do is create sheets after sheets. Let's say if my team has three members, and I'm going to ask them to do some work on their own before we start putting it all together, each sheet then can be named for a person. Here I can enter team member 1, and team member 1 will work on this sheet, and team member 2 will work on this sheet. That way, we will know who has done what if that's something that you wanted to keep track of. Now let me show you how it looks on an iPad. On an iPad, you can start the Jamboard app, and then you will get the Jamboard. You can see that it looks the same. It has the pens, it has the eraser, it has the laser pointer. Then, the rest of it, it will be through the plus sign. You can get the sticky notes, that camera, and it has one extra thing. It can do stickers, something that I don't have availability in my surface. You will have some different capabilities based on whether you're using it from an app or on a website. Nevertheless, you have the capability of share. The way you share is that you can copy the link and send it to people, and they can share with you. On surface, it will be a little different. You can share your Jam as a PDF. You can save it as an image. Jamboard offers a great collaboration tool, and I'm sure it will continue to get better as time goes on.
