Jigsaw 101

Jigsaw 101

Upload a diversified set of 5 assets into your asset library and tag each asset with a desired system of your choosing.  Demonstrate how you have used one of these assets in a session.  Reflect upon best practices for setting yourself up for success prior to synchronous sessions.   

Here are 5 assets that I have uploaded into my asset library.  I have found that presentation is what I use the most and tends to work the best for my and what I am trying to do with my students.  

Here is where I tagged my assets.  

Here is where I used one pf my presentations in a synchronous session.  I used a Powerpoint presentation to teach a lesson on how to solve systems of equations.  


Jigsaw 101 Reflection 

Learning how to used Jigsaw has definitely had its bumps in the road, but I am starting to feel more comfortable with the program.  Once I figured out how to load the assets in and share them in my session, I started to feel like I was getting somewhere.  While I was much more comfortable sharing my screen in adobe connect to teach lessons, I am slowly getting used to this format.  It is going to take some getting used to, but I think I will eventually get there!

As far as using Jigsaw, I have learned that it is much more helpful for me if I have my lesson prepared a couple of days ahead of when my session is.  This makes it easier when the synchronous session time comes and I already have the presentation loaded into my assets and I can just log in and be ready to get started!  I am definitely keeping this simple for now.  But I am looking forward to learning more about Jigsaw and becoming even more comfortable with the program as we move through the semester.
