Birds of a Feather

FigJam is a free online whiteboard packed with awesome features. Think sticky notes, flowcharts with connectors, and way cooler tools than Jamboard (RIP).

It’s perfect for group work—whether it’s small groups or your whole class jumping in to share ideas. Plus, it’s great for students who like to organize their thoughts visually on their own.

Here’s the best part: FigJam comes with loads of ready-made templates, like the jigsaw activity shown above. Just pick a template, drop it into a FigJam file, and share it with your students.

To find templates, click the templates button (top-right corner of FigJam—it looks like a little browser window). Or, check out the Figma Education Creators template library for tons of fun options!
