"Dulce Et Decorum Est " Presentation by Abbey McFeely
Jamboard is a part of the Google Suite. In Jamboard, you can create presentations that have options for interactive elements for your students as a part of them such as posting sticky notes with observations/opinions in response to a question on a slide, drawing on the slides, inserting pictures and shapes, and adding text. You can also use the laser tool on the bottom of the toolbar on the left to clearly present your slides and help students to follow text on the slides. All of the tools mentioned above are found in Jamboard on a toolbar on the left-hand-side of the screen, next to the presentation slides. You can have up to 20 slides in Jamboard and 50 students at a time working on those slides. You can share this Jamboard online and anyone who has a link can view it and work on it. This function is great because students do not need to create an account to access it! In addition, when students join, their names are kept anonymous, which allows students to interact with the presentation and share their opinions freely. However, if you want to know which answer comes from which student, you can simply ask them to include their names as a part of the response. To create my content in Jamboard, because Jamboard does not have sophisticated options for presentation graphics, I created my presentation elements in Canva. Then, I saved this presentation as a series of JPG images. Finally, I clicked "Set background" in Jamboard, and uploaded each of the JPG slides of my presentation onto a slide on Jamboard to finish my presentation. It was that simple!
Jamboard corresponds to Danielson Domain 3: Instruction, Component 3d: Using Assessment in Instruction. Jamboard is a great tool to incorporate formative assessments into your traditional PowerPoint, while teaching a lesson. These formative assessments, such as having a slide where students post takeaways from the lesson on sticky notes, allow the teacher to gauge what their students have understood in a lesson and what the teacher may need to review again, so that the students can master a concept. This tool makes teaching more effective because, through these assessments, teachers ensure that their students are learning the material and can quickly correct misconceptions about a topic before they become habits. Overall, Jamboard does a great job of helping teachers to teach effectively and students to learn reflectively through these assessments.
Jamboard is a great resource that meets some of the ISTE Standards for students as well! The use of Jamboard for my lesson particularly falls under ISTE Standard 6: Creative Communicator, Component 6c: students communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using a variety of digital objects such as visualizations, models or simulations. Jamboard allows students to express themselves creatively in responding to English content by enabling them to annotate text online to show their learning or to incorporate visuals of images to add to a discussion or express their feelings. When working on Jamboard, students are opened to a bigger realm of possibilities to show their skills through how they can give answers as text, drawings, pictures, or even shapes! These tools cater to different learning styles such as visual and kinetic and empower students to use their creativity in school to express themselves.
I would love to create more Jamboard presentations like the one that I created above! It is a great tool that I can incorporate into my classroom to encourage students to interact with my presentations and show me that they have learned the material. I particularly like the function where they can use a pen to annotate text on the screen. Also, multiple students can annotate the text at the same time, and see what their classmates are doing, which is great because it enables all of the students to demonstrate their learning equally, collaboratively, and at the same time, instead of just one student going up to the whiteboard or SmartBoard in a traditional classroom. I would also like to use Jamboard as a tool for creating comparison/contrast diagrams or a 4 corners slide, where students must pick one of four views posed on a particular literary analysis question and provide evidence for that point of view. Additionally, Jamboards are a great resource to use to check-in on students and see how they are doing by asking them to share an emoji that best describes their current focus level or mood. Finally, I would like to use Jamboards as exit tickets to push students to reflect and share about their learning and to create a space for them to learn from the ideas of their fellow students.
