Jamboard

• Leeds College's Head of Independent Learning Steven Hope used Jamboard as a tool to promote collaboration and curation among its student and teachers.
• Hope regards content curation as the fifth 'C' among the four C's of education, including "creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration."
• To enhance the school's objectives of collaboration and curation, Leed's College added eight Jamboards to its independent learning zones and some curriculum programs, including "math, sports and coaching, and special education."
• The Jamboards allowed students to add images, documents, and sticky notes to each jam they create. For example, "a teacher in a sports class can create training plans on a Jamboard and add images showing football training exercises."
• Using Jamboard, teachers browse the internet and add content in real-time. Once the teachers save their jams, students can have easy access to them by logging into G Suite. According to Hope, "it's a new way to present knowledge."

Goals

• The project's goals were to "help teachers and students curate content, enable student-led learning, and give teachers and students tools to inspire creativity."

Results

• Using Jamboard, Leeds College successfully "guided students through the problem-solving process, added content from Google Drive and the web to presentations, and inspired students to share their projects with classmates."
