Figma has partnered with Google to provide their tools absolutely free to educators and students.
One of their tools is FigJam which is an advanced collaborative whiteboarding tool with features including stamps, emotes, stickies, shapes, connectors, drawing tools, plugins, interactive widgets, and much more.
You and your students can use FigJam to:
- Brainstorm ideas for projects and assignments with sticky notes, shapes, and freehand drawing.
- Organize thoughts and research with decision trees, diagrams, and mind maps.
- Collaborate with classmates and teachers in real time with feedback and comments.
- Plan and run group projects, presentations, and more.
To help you get started with FigJam, and get the most out of it, I will be hosting two free webinars in October. Whether you have never heard of FigJam, or if you want to dig deeper into it, these live-streamed training sessions will be super helpful.
See below for details on each webinar and the registration information. If you are unable to attend live, the sessions will be recorded and shared out afterwards. I look forward to learning with you!
