Purpose
There
are two purposes for this activity. First, the activity seeks to provide
students the opportunity to explore legal issues involved in teaching and
learning with technology. You will be asked to critically explore ideas
presented in web sites provided by the instructor. Second, this activity
will provide you the opportunity to experience the cooperative learning
instructional strategy called "Jigsaw."
Description
In
a Jigsaw activity, students begin work in their base group. Each
team member is assigned a specific area in which he or she will become
an expert. The experts for each area will meet together in a special expert
group to develop their understanding of their assigned area. After
students have worked in their expert groups, they will each return to their
base group. In the base group each team member will share the expertise
that he or she has gained by participating in the expert group.
For
this specific activity the team that you have been working with all
semester will serve as your base group. Each team member will become
an expert on a certain topic by participating in a group made up of students
from other teams who have the same topic. After participating in this expert
group the team members will return to the base group and share their expertise.
