Using Jamboard on iPad - Google Jamboard

Jamboard Interface

 

If you leave the editing portion of the jam, or leave the app, you will have to click the Edit icon in the bottom right corner to get back into the editing interface.

 

Save a Jam

Click the three dots in the top-right corner, and choose your method of saving.

Download as PDF - Downloads the entire jam, including all frames (pages) as a PDF.

Save frame as image - Saves the single frame you are viewing as an image file.

 

Document Markup

At this time, only image files can be added into Jamboard for direct drawing and markup. This means files like Word documents or PDF files cannot be directly drawn on using Jamboard.

This leaves you with two options:

  1. Take screenshots of documents and add them into Jamboard for markup.

  2. Copy and paste text into a text box on Jamboard for markup.

Screenshots

1

Using the two buttons on your iPad, take a screenshot of the document you’d like to mark up.

2

In your Jam, tap the + sign on the toolbar, then choose Image Library.

 

3

Select the photo you want to mark up and it will appear on your Jam.

You can then resize the image using the blue frame around the image.

You can now use the annotation tools as usual. Please note that if you resize or move the image after marking it, the markings will not change or move with the image.
