Here’s some news for you #AVtweeps: Google is discontinuing its Jamboard product. Scott Tiner writes about this from the perspective of working in higher ed, which is probably different from those of you who work in K-12, but he also writes about the lessons the AV community learned from the Jamboard. Lesson 1: Does an interactive whiteboard aimed at education really need to be that expensive? He explores the answer to that and more here.

Have a great week!

+ Google JamBoard: Lessons Learned [Scott Tiner]

Google has recently announced that it is winding down the JamBoard product, and it will no longer be available after December 2024. Along with no longer selling the hardware, the software is also being discontinued. In a little over one year, the product will be completely useless. Google has said that it will work with customers to “compensate them” for their devices, but it is not clear what that entails.
