No Problem! Try Padlet Instead"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

I know, I know. I too received yet another reminder from Google Workspace that Jamboard is going away<\/a> (sad face). With Google Jamboard set to retire at the end of the year, many of us are wondering what tool can fill its shoes. I\u2019ve been testing out a few tools including Miro and FigJam as listed in my previous blog post<\/a>. But lately, I\u2019ve been really impressed with Padlet<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Padlet is a versatile platform with robust features that enhance collaboration and creativity. It functions like a digital bulletin board where users can post and organize a variety of content including text, images, videos, links, and more. Faculty can create a shared board for students to post information or even create a digital poster session. It can bring fresh energy to the classroom and provide new ways for students to engage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Import Jamboard Directly Into Padlet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After December 31st, Google will begin deleting all Jamboard files. In order to save your files, you can download the Jamboards as PDFs<\/a>. Or you can import them directly into Padlet. To import a Jamboard into Padlet<\/a>, go to your Padlet dashboard, click “Make,” and then select “Import from Jamboard”. If you haven’t already connected your Google Drive, you’ll be instructed to do so and choose the specific Jamboard files you want to import into your Padlet board. Watch the video below for a mini demo of these steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
