Embedding technology into education has become the need of the hour.  The tech savvy Gen Z learners are a witness from constructive learning to constructive connectivism.  This leaves us facilitators with no other choice than to enter into the gadgets of our learners.  

Blending face to face learning with connecting using online tools requires use of various tools available for collaboration, online.

One of the online tools available to get the digital natives collaborate and learn in innovative ways is the Google Jam board. 

Officially announced in 2016, as a part of the G-Suite, Google Jam board is now available for use like any other Google tools.  

'Jamming' via this Google tool,  enhances student involvement in the process of learning through active engagement and cooperation. The best part of this tool is that the work gets auto-saved to the cloud from time to time and so, the worry about the work getting lost is totally removed.  Another thing that makes jamming interesting for students is the opportunity to work together even when physically distant.  The colorful design makes it visually effective.  

This video gives you a step by step process of creating a jam, sharing, editing and saving it.
