If you haven't heard, Google is getting rid of Jamboard by the end of 2024; however, Figma (partnered with Google) has released Figjam! It is so much better than JB which I found to be quite limited. If you'd like to watch the recording of last night's webinar, click HERE (Skip to about 5 min in because they had some tech difficulties at the start.) It is free (and they said last night will always be because Figma is so successful in the business world) and COPPA/Ferpa compliant. They'll work with any schools to set up SSO.

To create a new board, figjam.new 

Or figma.com/education > get verified

Eric Curts will be offering a couple of sessions:
