Jigsaw 101 Setting Up for Success





Generally speaking, I love organization!  Honestly, LOVE.IT.  For me, the asset library is a must!  Jigsaw has many more functions than presented to us in the past to communicate content with students.  Even in my face-to-face classroom there are many things I want to get to but sometimes do not because I forget.  The asset library allows for one to prep before each synchronous session by loading everything preemptively. I can load everything I want to share with the students and open them in different panes to keep myself on track.  The filter function is great due to adding tags.  AP Psychology is cumulative.  There are many topics that resurface throughout the semester.  The use of tags allows me to quickly find an image or video that I may have shared at the beginning of the year to use later.  I also feel it could provide an easy search opportunity when sharing things with colleagues by using the groups function.

Most of the items I selected focused on Social Psychology.  In the sample I submitted I showed how I can upload a presentation as an asset as well as a link to a sample project to show the students.  As I mentioned before, using the panes helps keep everything organized for me and gives me the easy ability to switch without having to wait for items to upload to share.  Additionally in another pane I had included the instructions for the assignment.  So discussing norms could easily link to the assignment and then link to the sample to share.
