Jigsaw Badge Assignment 104

For the final badge I used all 4 panes to create an overview of a potential lesson.  Regarding pane 1, I have learned that using the webcam isn't really as big of a privacy or even teaching challenge as I thought it would be.  I still do feel a little bit awkward with hearing my voice and I have noticed that I tend to look away from the camera a lot (I think this is because I am looking at my own face for re-enforcement not the camera); however, both awareness will help me to modify this behavior.

For pane 2 I am a bit overwhelmed on which method would be the best; teaching by screen sharing is the technique that I am the most used to; however, I can see the advantages to presentations and documents.  Especially, in that they tend to ground the presentation and provide less room for the "train going off the tracks."  Yet letting the train go off the tracks sometimes does lend itself to some interesting discoveries and I think mirrors how students use their technology in that a lot of their searches are freeform and they end up in places that they didn't expect to go.  Perhaps balance is in order here.  For this lesson I used the screenshare feature to retrieve the sample AP prompts from the College Board, and the document feature to show students sample AP Essays.

For pane 3 I am completely sold and inspired by the note feature.  I think that taking notes in pane 3 can be an acceptable method for taming the adventure of my screen sharing in pane 2.  Also I really enjoy working out analysis in real time with students and this pane will help me do this.  For this lesson, I demonstrated a technique of addressing three AP English literature prompts at once so that the students will start to see the exam as a holistic performance rather than individual questions (do remember that the students are simply awarded a number score of 1-5 and they will never know how they did on any one particular question).

For pane 4 I am still getting comfortable with the cut/pasting and using the whiteboard; however, I do like the annotation features and how these can be applied to the writing process.  For this lesson I cut/pasted a poetry prompt from the 2017 AP English Literature Exam and demonstrated how it would connect with Panes 2 and 3.

I do like to think of instruction and assessment as holistic, and I am trying to explore how all of the panes can be used to create a holistic effect upon students.  I don't want to rely on any one pane for too long, but I also don't want to run the risk of fragmented lessons.  Pane 1 is easily solved with turning the webcam on, but it's the other three that need to work in unison.
