Jigsaw 101 - Assignment #1
I first completed the requirements for the Jigsaw 101 Course on August 15, so it has been interesting to view my original screenshots of when I first figured-out how to tag all artifacts properly. I think everyone at GAVS can say they have come a long way since August! Reflect upon best practices for setting yourself up for success prior to synchronous sessions: The best way to hold a successful synchronous session with students is to plan ahead - at least 4-7 days prior to each session, it is a best practice to:

Determine the next projects / essays / challenging assignments students will be working on, and create visually-appealing and informative materials to assist them in completing assignments successfully, following all guidelines on the assignment pages and rubrics

Load / create all images, videos, documents, audio, surveys/polls, web links, etc. ahead of time

Create and post the agenda for the session, so students - and teachers - are able to keep track of everything for that lesson, and all points have been fully explained to students

Test all artifacts loaded into Jigsaw well before the synchronous session date, to ensure everything is in working order

Tagging is vital in keeping all artifacts organized, and ready for future use. Many Week One resources may be reused each semester, so it is important to have them tagged and easy-to-find for all future sessions. Although the new system appeared to be daunting, at first, it is actually quite user-friendly. The layout of Jigsaw is much more visually appealing than Adobe, and video and audio seem to be much easier to load than in Adobe. I enjoy having the freedom of choosing either the two or four-pane feature. I have used both, and have found them both to be incredibly useful, depending on the needs of each week's session / weekly topics of study. The main problem that still occurs, occasionally, is with sound. In some sessions, my sound cuts-out as soon as I play a video, or screen share with students. I know this is something that will be fixed by Jigsaw in the near future. This is the only challenge I have run into - other than that, this is an excellent resource for teachers and students!

For this lesson, I included my presentation files from my Fall 2017 American Lit/Comp-B course, during which time we discussed the Dark/Light Romanticism Module. In this video, I discuss my set-up for the synchronous session, which originally ran approx. 40-50 min. I began in Pane 1 with audio from Disney's "The Haunted Mansion" soundtrack to set the eerie mood before class. Next, I continued with a video I recorded on Screencast-O-Matic, which I created to assist students with their upcoming "Atmosphere Assignment." For the final step in this session, I utilized the "Documents" section in Pane 2, in which I summarized the Module, and explained the ELO for this Module. The last step was a Q&A / room check.

Jigsaw 103 - Making the Grade - Kristin Wolff: Fall 2017 - Spring 2018 by Kristin Wolff

# data[].attributes.body
In my Jigsaw 104 final lesson, I again utilized Panes 1 through 4. I gave an overview of my December 2017 Jigsaw session, which I presented the last week that course work was due / the week before the Final Exam. In Pane 1, to open the session, I played the "Linus and Lucy" audio track from A Charlie Brown Christmas to establish a fun mood for our final, regular session. In Pane 2, I displayed my Smore Newsletter that was converted to a PDF, which included all ELOs and Grade Replacement Options for the semester. The Map, as well as Images of our GRO / ELO Smore Newsletter, were displayed in Pane 3. In Pane 4, I clicked the Web Links feature, to show students where to find important, end-of-year Final Exam Review Links, and in My Documents, I displayed an image to advertise of Jigsaw Final Review Kahoot! Game for the following Monday before Final Exams, to promote attendance and review. I hope you enjoy my session!
