Google Jamboard
Google Jamboard is an online Whiteboard tool that allows multiple users to simultaneously create and share ideas from multiple devices. Users can draw with a variety of brush sizes and colors on the whiteboard directly from any device at their fingertips, such as a mobile phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop, and photos can be added directly from Google Drive, Google Image Search, or directly uploaded from the device. Collaborative tools such as a laser pointer and sticky notes can be used for brainstorming and lecturing environments.
