Late last month, Google announced that the Jamboard app would be discontinued soon. Here's the timeline and what you need to know:
December 31, 2024: The Jamboard app will be completely shut down, and you will lose access to your Jam files.
Why is this happening?
Google is focusing on partnerships with third-party whiteboarding tools that offer deeper integration with Google Workspace.
The Recommended Alternatives
Luckily, Apple launched the Freeform app in 2022. Freeform offers various drawing and sketching tools and is simple to use. Students and teachers who know how to use Keynote, Pages, and Numbers will find the workflow and user experience very similar. The app integrates well with the Logitech Crayon and allows for the integration of audio, video, drawing, and photos for powerful multimodal notetaking, brainstorming, collaboration, and idea sharing.
What do you need to do?
Export or Migrate Your Jams before December 31, 2024.
Contact your building LTA if you need help preserving your Jamboard work.
Let me know if you'd like any additional information or have questions about the transition!
