Work better together. Stormboard enables users to set up meetings beforehand, capture, organize, and discuss ideas in real-time, and then assign tasks and monitor progress in a digital workspace that can be returned to again and again. Built-in templates for Agile, Project Management, and more help streamline business processes, and work can be exported into one of many dynamic reporting options. Stormboard works on any device from a 4" phone to an 85" Microsoft…
[Google] Jamboard's functionality allows anyone to create a visual representation of information while remaining open to collaboration with others. Students can use the program to solve math problems by writing on their touch screens, while others create timelines of their lives with different shapes, formatting, and text options. Teachers can use it jointly during professional development to brainstorm new ideas and make note of those they would like to implement. The possibilities feel endless.
If you need to have control over your meetings and get everyone on board with their requirements and responsibilities, and track how far along everyone is, Stormboard will help you a lot. The problem with not having integration with SalesForce and ZenDesk is that you need to add all the information for each supplier or client, instead of having the system pull it from the other systems we use. Other than that, and the fact that the mobile app is limited, this is the best option for meeting management and follow up.
It's a tool that's easily accessible from your Google Suite. For a whiteboarding workspace, it provides a good basic platform. Multiple whiteboards can be created in one workspace, so you can share a session with multiple teams/plants. Compared to more advanced whiteboarding tools, it has limited features. You'll need to have access to the Internet to take full advantage of the collaborative workspace. The amount of storage space required for your session will use up your Google Drive quota.
Google Jamboard is part of the Google education suite so it's easily accessible and part of our single sign-on authentication. Padlet is another tool that supports active learning web boards, but it is not easily integrated with our LMS and it's yet another tool to support. We've also heard about Mural.co, but that one seems more complicated to use compared to Google Jamboard. It's also more expensive and we try to maximize the resources we have available.
Stromboard is filled with great numbers of sticky notes and shapes and featured for different kinds of collaboration. It has various integration with Windows, Microsoft flow, MS Teams, and OneDrive which allows users to do much more than just whiteboarding but also to open, create and save the documents. It can add images, links, drawings, documents, and much more.
