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.
