While I immediately enjoyed using the pen with my Jams on my Chromebook, I was surprised to see how easily my 9 year old took to using the Pen.

Google Jamboard pairs very nicely with OpenMiddle. The problems are designed to require students to make an initial attempt and re-strategize. One of my favorite resources for students to do higher critical thinking math problems is OpenMiddle. To collaborate and critique the reasoning of others. Jamboard aids students in critical thinking tasks by allowing them to use multiple frames to develop their ideas. Learning is messy and can not always be contained on a line to fill out. Using Google Jamboard for Critical ThinkingĬritical Thinking is not about getting the answer the first time. Using the Logitech Pen with Google Jamboard I am able to easily switch between writing my ideas on a Jam and manipulating text, shapes, and images. I have never been impressed by a stylus, however, the Logitech Pen impressed me. I was instantly surprised by how natural the pen felt in my hand. The triangular shape and light weight make it perfect for students to use with Google Jamboard. The Logitech Pen on the other hand is delightful to hold. Because they are so short they are not comfortable to hold in your hand. The fat foam tip is not much more accurate than just using your finger in Jamboard. To be honest, the students rarely want to use them.

I had purchased a bag of inexpensive styluses for my students to use with Google Jamboard. It allows my students to go beyond the text to visualize their learning.
