JamBoard: Where Academic and Intellectual Collaboration Meets Creativity
Title: JamBoard: Where Academic and Intellectual Collaboration Meets CreativityPresenter: Gloria J. AshaoluFormat: Paper PresentationDate: May 11th, 2023Time: 10:15 am - 11:15 amClick here to viewDescription:The advent of the “dramatically amplified” and increased incorporation of digital technological teaching methodologies in classes (Sweeney et. al., 2021) has meant that the use of digital whiteboards has been on the rise. Google’s Jamboard is a collaborative digital whiteboard where students can exchange and record ideas generated during collaborative discussions. Furthermore, the wide arrays of tools (pens, markers, highlighter, sticky notes, text boxes, image upload, etc) allow students to document their thoughts in ways that encourage and empower them to creatively express their ideations—and see their peer’s creations in real-time. Given that Jamboard is free for all Google users and has a relatively easy-to-use interface, it can be a good tool to utilize when engaging in in-class (in-person or remote) collaborative discourse and other forms of diagnostic and formative assessments. This presentation engages with how Jamboard can help facilitate a learning experience where students evaluate, and in their own words, produce answers and create visual aids that allow them to synthesize the course content they are introduced to. This presentation also delves into the limitations of Jamboard—as well as creative means to work around some of these constraints. As with any teaching tool, student engagement and performance ought to be a priority. That said, through the use of a case study, this presentation also discusses how Jamboard can be used to gauge student learning and understanding and develop interventions as informed by the principle of design thinking (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test, and implement).
