Jigsaw Badge Assignment 103

These two panes have been the greater mystery to me as I have worked through jigsaw for the last year, so I am eager to learn about how to use them.  Typically with pane 3, I've noticed the map of my location and one student in Savannah always seems to show up; however, I did not see much more application.  And Pane 4 was one that I merely ignored.  This lesson has changed my negligence of these two panes.

First, for pane 3 I really enjoy the note feature.  I tend to be a screen sharing teacher, and often I will type up notes in Word and just share them with my students.  However, the process of doing this tends to blur screens as I go back and forth between the jigsaw screen and my Word document.  Obviously, I am not 100% in the courseroom with this strategy and hadn't learned a way around this problem.  Now, I can work with the note feature to type and present notes and templates for assignments in real time without having to learn the jigsaw classroom.  With my video presentation I have given the framework to a possible introductory or pre-AP Exam lesson on how AP essays are built with some quantifiable measures for each level.

Second, for pane 4 I plan on using the whiteboard feature and as an ELA teacher this seems really applicable for writing instruction.  For the video presentation I have cut/pasted a PDF of sample essays published by the College Board and have taken the introductory paragraph and have demonstrated how I could not only use this document as a reference, but also how I could highlight and annotate this PDF in real time for the students.  I think that the visual element and interactive feature has much potential with writing instruction, and plan on exploring and even sharing this with my students in future sessions.
