Convert your Jamboard Lessons

November 28, 2023 by John R. Sowash

If you invested a lot of time and energy building lessons with Jamboard, you need to decide what you are going to do with these files before Jamboard is discontinued in October of 2024.

FigJam is a free design tool that you can use to create simple diagrams and graphic organizers in your classroom and can serve as a replacement for Jamboard.

Figma just released a new IMPORT option that will convert your Jamboard files to Figjam activities with extremely high fidelity.

My latest YouTube video demonstrates how effective the import tool works. Hats off to the team at Figma for knocking this one out of the park! 🧢🎩
