Back in June Google started teasing the possibility of Jamboard being integrated into Google Meet. The possibility has come to fruition as yesterday afternoon Google announced that Jamboard is now integrated into Google Meet.
Jamboard can be launched inside of Google Meet by opening the small sandwich menu (the three little dots in the lower, right corner) then choosing “whiteboard.” Everyone who is in the meeting will be able to draw on the whiteboard. The best part is that because the whiteboard is a Jamboard, it will save in your Google Drive where you can then share it again for further use after a meeting has ended.
I’m sure that you already have some ideas for how to use a whiteboard in Google Meet. These are the ideas that jumped into my mind as soon as I read the announcement from Google.
- Mind mapping.
- Collaborating on flowcharts.
- Brainstorming sessions.
- Math lessons.
- Illustrating a sequence of events.
- Drawing on top of an image.
- Virtual gallery walks (remember that Jamboard allows you to have multiple pages).
