Jamboard 

“With tools for creativity and curation like Jamboard, all students have the ability to find the answers and present them just as a teacher would. It gives every student a voice regardless of their level."

    Jamboard is an amazing application that all teachers and students can use. Jamboard starts off as basically a blank white board. You can add any video, photo, sticky note, or application on the board. After you create your personal Jamboard, you can share it with students or other teachers.  For example, to gain your students attention in the morning you can create a jam board simply asking a question such as how are you feeling today? Please look at this Jamboard Example  to see an example of a Jamboard I have created for 2nd grade ELA. This Jamboard focuses on the beginning, middle, and end of a story. All students would be allowed access to this and be able to fill out using text boxes for his or her responses. Also, once it has been shared with your students, they will then be able to add a sticky note and type their response. I have been using Jamboard recently and I absolutely love it. You can create Jamboard quizzes and games as well, once you become more familiar with it. As stated from Google Jamboard, it explains that  "With Jamboard’s incredibly responsive and accurate display, it feels natural to draw and sketch the way you would on a traditional whiteboard. Enrich your brainstorm with the best of Google Search and your team’s work in Google Workspace : Grab images and content from the web and bring them straight into your jam; pull in work from Docs, Sheets, and Slides; even add photos stored in Drive."
