In a surprising turn of events, Google has announced that it will be shutting down its digital whiteboard, Jamboard, in late 2024. The Jamboard was a large, red touchscreen that came with a hefty price tag of $5,000, with additional costs for a rolling stand and subscription fees. The product, which was heavily integrated with Google Workspace, allowed users to draw and collaborate using a stylus or their fingers. However, Google’s decision to discontinue Jamboard means that users will no longer have access to their cloud-based data and will need to find alternative whiteboard apps to migrate their information. This news is sure to affect many schools and businesses that invested in the product.
