Jamboard

Vorteile

Die Echtzeit-Kollaboration, die einfache Bedienung und die vielseitigen kreativen Werkzeuge.

Nachteile

Die begrenzten Bearbeitungsfunktionen im Vergleich zu anderen Tools

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Jamboard has a user proof interface.
This is really-really great to share ideas when you are in that kind of remote meetings sessions where people never get to an agree.
The "shapes" feature added is without any doubts THE FEATURE that Jamboard was needing.
Clean to use

Nachteile

The first time using Jamboard was a bit uncomfortable: Shapes feature wasn't added and the drawing tool wasn't very polished. I tried to share an idea, and sadly my pulse is not the better, so finally my poor draw took the lead rol in the meeting. I guess that the first attempt was almost duplicate the "board" experience, and for that reason that tool wasn't included, but now it's totally comfortable to be used.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

It needs more graphical and annotation tools.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

For me, I like how Jamboard seamlessly integrates with other Google Workspace apps, such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

Nachteile

Jamboard with its real-time collaboration and editing requires a stable Internet connection. However for me, that may not be available at all times.

Vorteile

Easy and convenient way to collaborate on a whiteboard in virtual meetings.

Good for capturing notes or brainstorming on google

Nachteile

Less functionality and less professional than Mural

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Easy to jot down ideas of everyone during the meetings.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Jamboard is a great tool for collaboration, where users can share their ideas on a particular concept, which can be done using the "anyone can edit" link option. I like the various creative approaches that can be taken to make learning more engaging and creative.

Nachteile

I wish there were more template options in Jamboard such as with more marker options, more options for background choices, or the option to add media content such as music and videos.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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!

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Jamboard is great for visual thinking. I am able to add boards, write on the board via texts, change the colors, duplicate the boards, and move them around. I'm also able to add images, draw, or use the sticky. I have used Jamboard as brain dumps, collective art, or just interactive coaching. It's a basic platform, but once you know how to use it, it provides what is needed for a job well done.

Nachteile

If a student/client is not logged into google, I have no way of knowing who is contributing to the board. Also, it has a set limit for how many boards you can add. Lastly, when adding a sticky note, it populates in one area, so I usually have to immediately move them around, so we can see everyone's comments.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

I loved how easy Jamboard made it to set up an interactive whiteboard, easy one-click access for participants. I also loved how easy it was for participants to interact with.

Nachteile

I believe there could have been a bit more in way of options for the creator. For example, there was no way to add a hyperlink.

Vorteile

Jamboards best feature is it is just plain simple to use, and the tools it has allows a lot of functionality in the creation of a Jamboard. It is basically a place you can make idea boards, thought boards, sketches, and more, almost like a digital notebook, but better. It has countless uses for sharing as well, and I also like that it is hosted in the cloud so you do not have to worry about making back-ups or losing data.

Nachteile

Some features I would like to see implemented in Jamboard would be a larger color pallet, as it is limited to basically 6 colors at the moment. I would also love a select tool, because if you need to erase your sketched or written items on the page, you need to use the eraser for that. It would be nice to be able to select and delete a large area if necessary. I would also like the written areas to be movable, as they stay put on the page where they are drawn currently.

Vorteile

Jamboard is a great way to get many users on the same space, collaborating and interacting. It is a great way to get ideas flowing and quickly visible to other users. There are a plethora of tools available that allow all users--both audience and participants--to be involved and engaged in the process of both demonstrating and discussing.

Nachteile

Sometimes things can be pretty hectic on each page of the Jamboard; this is more a user concern as opposed to a software issue, but depending on the population and age of the users, some significant setup in regard to rules will be needed. Just something to be aware of since the regulations within the software are pretty open-ended, allowing near limitless freedom for each user simultaneously.

Vorteile

The ability to work remotly with several people on various projects

Nachteile

Google based, so difficult if you have other team members not signed with Google

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

It's very straightforward and comfortable to use. We can use different graphics, fotos and presentations and also add notes to it. This is all I need for the lessons. More complicated tools are overwhelming for my students (and myself too, if I'm being honest ;) ).

Nachteile

I read that it's going to be discontinued in autumn, that's a pity!

Vorteile

Several tools, working with other people in real time, it's free with a Gmail account, presenting your whiteboard and you can choose if they can modify it or not.

Nachteile

When using Jamboard with multiple users it can be quite confusing which one is doing the action they are doing.

Vorteile

It's easy to invite others to collaborate on a whiteboard, and the drag & drop features work really well. For beginners of using online whiteboards (like me), it's a great option. You can export in different formats as well, which is cool.

Nachteile

There really aren't a whole lot of options, and it doesn't seem to have very good formatting - as in, you have to drag and drop precisely because it won't align with other objects automatically. There's also the fact Google decommissioned it, so I don't know if it's even still able to be used.

Vorteile

Easy to use but not dumbed down; we were able to share detailed comments and visualize complex concepts

Nachteile

Sometimes having multiple people working at once produced visual clutter or lag, especailly with remote users at different wi-fi speeds, but I'm not sure there's a workaround for that

Vorteile

I love the ease of use to get started. It just works like expected.

Nachteile

I really miss the "going the extra mile" with this solution, this could have been taken to another level easily, it works but many competitors provide more options

Que cuando se encuentran muchas personas trabajando en una misma hoja, no hay una forma clara de identificar a las personas e inclusive puede ser muy confuso, requiere una comunicación extra por micrófono.

Vorteile

The fact its google and works across our gsuite services. A really useful tool for our brainstorming sessions and its completley free to use.

Nachteile

There is none! Its a great free tool. All you need is a google account

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

It was kinda glitchy with 20 participants within the jamboard

Vorteile

Jamboard is a fairly simple tool for online brainstorming sessions with smaller project teams. It has a clean UI and provides all the basic features like pen, eraser, sticky notes, shapes, text box, ability to add pictures etc. It is well integrated with other Google workspace apps. You can add up to 20 pages within the same board/project and I love how Jamboard pages have clear demarcation. You can give a walkthrough to your stakeholders, on the outcome of an ideation session, by using the pages in a presentation style.

Nachteile

One of the major drawbacks of Jamboard is the limitation on board size. Unlike Miro or Figma, it doesn't provide endless canvas. As a result, you can only do a limited amount of work on one board. And you can't customize many things in Jamboard.Jamboard doesn't provide any advance features like video upload, adding timer on board, chat option etc. Additionally, if more than 20-25 team members are working on a board simultaneously, it starts lagging while updating the information on real-time basis.
