This is a reminder that Google will wind down the Jamboard app starting October 1, 2024. Between October 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, the app will be placed in “view-only” mode and you’ll no longer be able to create new or edit existing Jams on any platform, including the web, iOS, and Android platforms. During this time you can continue to back up your Jam files.
Jamboard files (Jams) currently saved in Drive will automatically be converted to PDFs. Starting October 1, 2024, Google will begin the PDF conversion process and the PDFs will be placed in the same Drive location as the Jam. Please note the following details about the PDFs:
After PDF conversions, Jams will remain in Drive and can still be migrated to one of our whiteboard partners using their import tools. After December 31, 2024, the Jams will be deleted and can no longer be migrated. The PDFs will remain in Drive.

This Autumn term, there is a full schedule of Adobe Express Live Lessons which your class can join in. Aimed at 8-13 year olds, your pupils will learn how to use Adobe Express to create digital media on important dates in the school calendar. Each lesson is 75 minutes long but there’s a natural break right in the middle if you need to head off early.
