EdTech Webinars – i ❤ edu

Jamboard & Google Meet

Meagan Kelly — Tue, 14 Jul 2020 23:10:31 +0000

In April and May, I Heart EDU released a variety of professional development webinars to support teachers with distance learning. I’m so glad many of you were able to tune in to these videos and I hope to plan a couple more soon!

Today, I am sharing a webinar on Jamboard and Google Meet that I had previously not posted due to my summer hiatus. In this webinar, Rosalinda Jaimes shares how to use Jamboard and Google Meet to amplify learning during distance learning.

I’m ashamed to admit it – but I had never used Jamboard until this presentation! I’m so disappointed that I didn’t because this would have been an AMAZING tool in the Math classroom.

Below you will find the YouTube video and helpful links to get you going with Jamboard. Enjoy!

Below, you will find some of the resources that were provided during the presentation:

Happy May everyone! As we continue in these strange times with stay-at-home orders, I EDU is planning to continue with monthly webinars. I know that a lot of my posts recently have been based on webinars, but stay tuned for more posts as I have normally shared in the past. (Unfortunately, I messed up my back a bit this month so a lot my regular posts have been temporarily put aside!)
