Jammin’ my classroom with Jamboard / Norhaslinda Hassan

Jamboard, a digital whiteboard provided by Google offers an interactive canvas that enables collaboration. Apart from using a jamboard as a digital whiteboard (a good teaching aid besides slideshow and talking in online classroom), you can do a lot more with a jamboard such as drop images, and add notes, among others. As an initiative to promote learning in my classroom, I employed a formative assessment, namely peer-assessment to enhance my students’ learning. They are required to work collaboratively by joining the jamboard and use the sticky notes feature to assess and offer feedback to their friends’ presentations. Notably, some students provided their honest feedback and I noticed students can comment and offer quality feedback. This may be due to the anonymity in the jamboard, which made students comfortable in providing feedback to their friends. Students were psyched when jamboard was initially introduced to them but over time they enjoyed all the jamboard sessions. In fact, at the end of every session, they were so excited to have a copy of the jamboard. This is another great feature of jamboard, in which you can download the pdf version of the jam.
