1. 5 diversified assets have been added to the asset library.

Here are five assets, a pdf, mp4, png, gif, and ppt file that I have uploaded to use in an AP Biology Exam Information Session.

2. An original tag has been created for each added asset

Here is an example of a TAG I created for AP Exam review materials. I

Here are other TAGS I have created

3. Use of one asset has been demonstrated.

Here are my assets in a session ready to go.

Here is a link to the presentation.

4. Thoughtful and professional reflection has been given.

I have to be honest - I should have done this PD earlier in the year - like last fall. My synchronous sessions have been disjointed and lack luster at best this year. I feel as though I was over whelmed at learning a new 'thing' when I feel like I had just gotten Adobe Connect down. I was also discouraged at the beginning because when we first started using JIGSAW it didn't always work so well. 

Until now, I really have only uploaded PowerPoint presentations (can I hide my head in shame now?). Doing Jigsaw U 101 has shown me that it is easier than I thought. Using tags the past few weeks has actually made my life easier - so that is nice (wish I had been tagging correctly all along). I am hoping to incorporate more into my sessions on the regular.

Things to Remember
1) Make sure the internet connection is secure and FAST.
2) Jigsaw and Chrome are the latest versions.
3) Prepare 1 day in advance of the session to make sure everything is in place.

t is important to make sure that the Internet connection is secure and the correct speed; it is also important to ensure that Jigsaw and Chrome are the latest version, in addition to the microphone and speakers being enabled properly. These are technology issues. I also lock the note board and disable the ability of students to talk to each other; I want them focused on the lesson.
