Sam, are you planning to come back to KZfaq and post more videos? You really helped me grow as a teacher. Thanks!

Thanks for the great video! Do you know if Figjam alows to record audio/video? In my use case it would be quite useful to record meetings, but I could not find the feature in their site.

Hi im looking for a program that i can personalize a homeschool curriculum but make it digitally interactive. Like a calendar I can add the number date. To each day, or if we’re learning the shape circle have the circle side come on and objects bounce in ,etc which program would be best for this?

Thanks for your introduction😊 I apply a free Figma account and just made a new Fig jam for teaching Chinese; quick question, is Figma allowed teacher to creat our own picture/photo/gif Library so I will not limited by using the stamp/icons? I keep searching the templates, but can’t find what I want.

Another thing, how do I organize the slides for the students? I was trying Figjam now and I found it confusing.....

Hi Ed, I've been using Jamboard for a while and I was so disappointed with the announcement that Google will stop working with it..... I especially use it with private students when I make the slides on Google Slides and then download the slides I want the students to write on to do the exercises. (I even learned that with you). Will I be able to do this with Figjam? I was wondering if you could help me with that or even produce a video about it. Thank you!

Are the sections similar to the frames we had in JB? So, if I have 30 learners, can I have 30 sections?

I've been using Figma design and jams for quite a while now and have tried to get my team teachers on board and to use it. It's amazing now hard it is to get others on board for technology that can save a lot of time and that can increase productivity for both educators and students. I've demoed Figma to other teachers and they all recognize it's potential, but no one is using it. Any recommendations on how I can get others on board and start using it?

What lesson would you use it for? I'd like to introduce it with a purpose.

Wow - this is great BUT for KS1 students this would be so overwhelming - most of the students I work with do not know how to use Google Classroom so I do not know how they would be able to use FigJam

It seems weak app . Cause it doesn't contain record like recording all our teaching to save it like a video .

I have 2 questions. Our school board has blocked us from using google products and accounts. Is this a google product or an adobe product? Also, some students prefer not having their peers know what they've written. While I love that this lets the the teacher know who has posted what (that was a definite weakness of Jam board), do the other students see as well?

I don't believe it's own by Google or Adobe.

@KansaiJesse 7 ай бұрын

Figma is it's own thing. The great thing about it is that you can download it or use it in the browser and it completely syncs between the two on multiple devices and accounts.

@chip7486 7 ай бұрын

Thanks guys. I was wondering because the interface looks like Google and at the bottom of the website it says Adobe. Fingers crossed, cause the current one we're using is always crashing

I am a tutor trying to switch from Jamboard to FigJam. My current online student is under 13 years of age. Does that mean we cannot use this platform, or is there a way for younger students to join with a parental consent? Thanks for your help.

I personally prefer Jamboard. I don't like infinite whiteboards :(

OMG, do you think they intentionally named it Figjam because they knew what the acronym meant?!?! 😅 If you haven't heard of it: F#$* I'm Good, Just Ask Me! 😂

This is an amazing resource that I hope to use in my classroom some day. I like that the students can use post it notes to voice their ideas and that the post it notes now say who wrote them. I also love that it is free! #fduedtech
