Figma: Design and Collaborate Online

I heard about Figma as a site to replace jamboard from the Teaching Channel. I love learning about new tools, especially free ones. I could sign up for a free account, which limits me to three projects. Upon setting up my account, I was prompted with the following:

I decided to check out the Whiteboard features.

What I like about it:

  • ease of use
  • layout
  • collaborative
  • timer (not startling when it goes off!)
  • music: relaxing, upbeat, etc.

Paid features:

  • voting
  • more storage
My overall thoughts:
It would be worth trying the free account to see if it's a great fit for your classroom. I love the idea of students working while reminders are on the board. This website would work great for how I operate. I would have expectations, a to-do list, and a timer to help students focus and manage student behaviors.
