First of all congrats on 600K!🎉 Wow, this seems like a great alternative to Jamboard and the pros definitely outweigh the cons! There are so many cool features! I plan on watching this video again when I try it out! Thank you for yet another inspiring video! I just want to try all the things! I’m definitely going to be sharing this video with my teacher friends that use Jamboard! Can’t wait to see what you have in store next week!
Aww, thank you so much Valérie 🥰 I agree that it's definitely a great alternative overall... and has a lot more tools and capabilities than Jamboard ever had! Thank YOU as always for taking the time to watch and comment... I can't wait to see you this week here in Austin 😉🎉
Happy weekend, Michelle! I am excited to try out a new program and I appreciate the clear tutorial you gave. I think one of the most fun parts of being a teacher is to find new technology to incorporate in your instruction. It helps to breathe new life and excitement into the classroom. Thank you for sharing! Have a fantastic week! 💜
Aww, happy weekend to you too Mandy! I hope you had a great one! I appreciate you taking time to watch and comment as always and am happy to hear that the tutorial was helpful for you! 🥰🖤 Have a fantastic week as well and happy teaching! 🎉
Wow!! This seems very cool to use. It has very nice features that students and teachers will definitely enjoy. I can’t wait to begin exploring some of the things we can do as teachers. I hope you’ll be posting some of those ideas too. 😊
Thank you so, so much as always Nellie! I'm happy you enjoyed this video and were able to learn some new things! 🥰🖤
So exciting! Thank you for the tutorial. You are awesome. I was a little worried about losing all the cool jams I have on jam board but I am so excited to hear that I can import them to fig jam and still be able to edit. That’s pretty cool. The hide feature and the reactions are great as well! Thank you again 😊
Aww, you're so sweet! Thank you so, so much! I'm happy the tutorial was helpful and that you're going to be able to use it to import your Jams so you don't lose their editable functionality when Jamboard shuts down. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🥰🖤
This is so cool! Thank you for this tutorial. I can't wait to get started!!
Aww, thank you Laura! I'm so happy this was helpful for you and I really appreciate you watching and commenting! 🥰
So excited about this!! 💛
Aww, yay! I'm so excited you're excited! Thanks for watching! 🥰
Thank you so much Michelle! ❤❤❤
Thank YOU so much for watching and commenting Betsy! 🥰🖤
Michelle, I learned so much and I’ve used it in the past. The connection four and Bitmoji are my favorite discoveries and I did not have Figjam whiteboard on my iPad, just Figma. Very informative and thorough like only you knows how to do in my book 😊
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I'm really appreciative of your support and I agree that there are some great tools like the Bitmoji widget and games! 🎉
❤❤❤❤
Hi how do you share and give excess to allow students to write on your whiteboard if you are using an iPad have not been able to figure that out. Thank you for your help
Hi Michelle. Do you know of any jamboards alternatives that will allow you to bring over your already made jamboards and convert to their system ?
Hi there! I actually showed how to use the Google Jamboard importer built in to FigJam in this video... check 8:12 for this in the video!
What do you get your hilarious video clips?
I am wondering how you can get your Jam Board to turn into a book (like on Jam Board) ? It imports like pages but how do you get them to turn?? I thought your video was great!
Unfortunately, no. As I mentioned in the video, the Jams will import as individual pages next to each other on the FigJam because FigJam operates as a continuous whiteboard as opposed to having "frames" like Jamboard does.
NEW VIDEO!!
Woohoo! Thanks for watching! 🎉
OMG YOU REPLYED!!! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR 2 YEARS!!@@PocketfulofPrimary
Would this be considered to be a Web 2.0 Edutool?
Hi there! Yes, absolutely! Thanks for checking in!
I can’t get started. I have an account. I made a team. But I previously imported jamboards into figjam, and I can’t access them. Don’t know where to look. And it’s telling me I have reached my limit of 1 project. Ugh.
Hi Anne! You might want to reach out to Figma directly for support... it sounds like it's possible that you have multiple accounts or maybe haven't verified your account as an educator account. Either way, they will be able to support you in a much better capacity than myself since I have no affiliation with them!
I have verified myself as an educator. I really don't know what to do. I have sent several requests for instruction manual links, help, etc. All I get back is " your request has been resolved." What? Whaaattt??? Perhaps if I PAY them, they will listen! @@PocketfulofPrimary
