Last week we looked at creating an immovable background for a Jamboard frame. This project involved creating a grid into which students could move appropriate Jamboard elements. This week we show you how to create uniformly sized elements to move around in Jamboard. Ultimately, the frame will contain the grid background and a set of equally-sized sticky notes with text that should fit within the grid:
1. First establish the background with the grid. Then create a sticky note with a text element:
2. Click on the Sticky Note icon in the toolbar at the left of the Jamboard interface:
3. Select a color for the background, enter the text, and click Save:
You are automatically prompted to create an additional sticky note. At this point, click Cancel.You will create subsequent sticky notes once you resize the first one.
4. Resize the sticky note: The default size of the sticky notes may be too big to fit into the grid nicely. You can easily resize the sticky note box by dragging the lower right corner up and to the left:
5. Duplicate the original sticky note:
a. Click the circle with the three vertical dots at the top right of the stick note
b. Select Duplicate from the dropdown menu
c. An exact copy of the original sticky note with the same dimensions appears:
6. Repeat the process as many times as you need:
Now you can alter the text for each sticky note:
7. Double click the note to call up the sticky note editor, replace the text with a new one, and click Save:
8. Repeat for each sticky note, each time entering a different text.
9. Drag each sticky note box into a new position where they no longer overlap:
You will now have a screen with uniformly sized elements that can be moved around into the grid boxes.
