A rural school district in Shimane Prefecture, Japan is running FigJam across every major subject and administrative level. Iinan Town's Board of Education has deployed the collaborative whiteboard tool in PE, math, life studies, social studies, English, and Japanese classes, and extended its use into board-level meetings.
The practical hook here is the pedagogical framing: Iinan structured its adoption around three explicit cognitive functions, making thinking visible, making sharing visible, and making reflection visible. That three-part framework is what separates a tool rollout from an actual instructional model, and it is why this case study is worth watching beyond the surface-level product placement.
This is a small-town district, not a well-funded urban pilot, which makes the breadth of implementation more significant. The full video shows the classroom mechanics across multiple grade levels and subject types. If you are evaluating collaborative tools for K-12 or district-wide deployment, the real value is in how Iinan operationalized the workflow, not just that they chose FigJam.
