What’s Jamboard?
Jamboard has evolved greatly over the past couple of years and what once was simply an interactive whiteboard is now a full-blown collaboration tool that can be used on the web, mobile devices, and even your TV if you want to Cast a “jam” to the big screen. Here is a look at some of the cool things that you can do with Jamboard by Google.
