Jigsaw U: 104 - Internship

In this last portion, I've made a video to show how I might run my Jigsaw session.

Jigsaw U: 103 - Making the Grade

Pane 3 starts out with a map of the US and a pin for each persons's location - this would be cool to use maybe a few weeks into class as something exciting (particularly during summer session!).  Through the Jigsaw session, I learned that you can also use this for Notes - I think this would be helpful to give students an outline for the session (as shown in the screen shot below). 

Pane 4 is the whiteboard, so I can take a screen shot of my presentation and then annotate it in the white board. However, I normally like to use a different screen sharing App so I may use Pane 2 more than Pane 4 - but its nice to know its there as a back up! 

Jigsaw U: 102 - Going to Class

I foresee myself using Pane 1 for a few different features.  I will definitely use it to to play Audio as students enter the classroom, and I will upload a picture of myself when I am not showing a video. 

Currently, I have a video of a skill students need throughout my course (Advanced Algebra) but that doesn't actually get taught during the course. Here is a screen shot of it using the Follow Me feature.

In Pane 2, I know I can share documents: a Powerpoint presentation (shown in the screen shot below using the Follow Me Feature), a step-by-step guide to solving specific problems, or maybe a graphic organizer. 

In addition to those things, I will use the screen share feature quite a bit. I have a graphing calculator app on my computer that will be very helpful when we get to our study on Statistics.

Jigsaw U 101

This year, I have been participating in Development and have not used Jigsaw yet! While I am eager to learn all of the feature, it is definitely different and will require training. I am glad that Jigsaw U is available for me to learn the ins and outs of the system.

I've learned how to add Assets and then utilize them in a Session.  Right now, I am using 4 panes.  I can see that it will be very important to plan my Synchronous sessions and all of the tools I will need for each session. I haven't run a session yet (since I am not currently teaching) but here is how I think I will use my panes.

Pane 1: I'll either use Pane 1 for music/profile picture OR for an introductory video.  In the screen shot below, I've uploaded a video I made a while ago about factoring. It is not something that will be taught in my course (Advanced Algebra) but it is a skill students struggle with and need to know in order to be successful.  So, I'll play that as they come in and maybe once when they all are in the room to remind them of how to do that.  

Pane 2: I'll use Pane 2 to screen share to show questions in the content during the Q & A session.

Pane 3: Pane 3 will hold the schedule for the day, so students know what to expect! 

Pane 4: In Pane 4, I will upload my guided questions for my lesson into the white board so that we can do the problems together.
