Preserving Jamboards: A Plea for Continued Support

The Issue

Background:
In September 2023, Google announced its decision to discontinue the cloud-based Jamboard application by the end of 2024. This decision has left thousands of teachers and educators in a difficult position. Jamboard has been an invaluable tool for interactive classes, both face-to-face and online. Its simplicity of use and collaborative features have made it a favorite among educators worldwide.

Why We Need Jamboard:
Educational Impact: Jamboard has transformed the way we teach and learn. Its digital whiteboard capabilities allow for dynamic presentations, brainstorming sessions, and collaborative problem-solving. Removing Jamboard would be a disservice to education.
Accessibility: Unlike some alternatives, Jamboard is accessible to educators globally, not just within the United States. It has been a lifeline for teachers in various countries, enabling them to engage students effectively.
Integration with Google Workspace: Jamboard seamlessly integrates with other Google Workspace tools, making it an essential part of the educational ecosystem. Losing it would disrupt workflows and create unnecessary hurdles.
Our Request:
We, the undersigned, urge Google to reconsider its decision and save Jamboard. Here’s why:

Preserve Educational Excellence: Jamboard enhances the quality of education by fostering creativity, collaboration, and engagement. Let’s continue empowering educators and students.
Global Impact: Jamboard’s reach extends beyond borders. Let’s ensure that educators worldwide can continue using this powerful tool.
Community Support: The Jamboard community stands united. We believe in its value and want it to thrive.
