I have been participating in modeling workshops using Jamboard this summer and these are strategies that I discovered that should decrease cognitive load for students:
- Share an introduction video with students of how to use Jamboard
- Provide a gif file or image of the phenomenon for students to view while working
- Embed a link to outside data collecting tool or source when applicable
- Suggest the number of stages that models should have for students that are new to modeling
- Share a list of modeling techniques that should be observable
- Provide icons for components in the system
