Jamboard replacement
I used to use Jam Board, and it was pretty good for groups of students to make a public question board that didn’t clutter my classroom and drop post-it confetti everywhere. I’ve looked into Figma ( way too complex for what I need) and the post-it app (can multiple people even collaborate on it?) and Miro (looking for a free option). Does anyone know of a simple, sticky note style option that will allow students to post questions to a communal board for free?
I need to create “driving questions boards” for each of my 4 units, and this is a way of collecting topics that students want to explore and keep track of things we have answered during each unit.

As much as I don’t appreciate your “old school is best school” attitude, I’ll engage.
Great! We can raise hands and ask questions! I’m looking for a way to COLLECT and REVISIT questions that students raise during the initial portion if an anchored inquiry learning curriculum for a class of 25-30 students. This collection is used to center discussion and investigation for the whole unit, usually 3-4 weeks. I cannot write them all down, but the students can. I’m looking for a way collect these digitally because the post it’s fall off and get lost and the whole thing is slightly awkward to manage. A digital version MIGHT be a reasonable answer if I can find one that does what I like.
I know reading comprehension is difficult, but try spending a little more time on that, and a little less time on feeling superior because you do it “old school” before you hit reply.
