I read your line "Students sitting idly...Tim,<br /><br />I read your line "Students sitting idly at their desks listening to lectures are not benefitting them." and cannot help but think how different my life would have been had I been a young student in today's world. I never learned in a traditional manner ad therefore always just squeaked by. I imagine that if my teachers had said things like "Students sitting idly at their desks listening to lectures are not benefitting them." my early years would have been much different.Mrs Vaporishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15940120205397883950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229502665925289174.post-6054987699925460562011-12-02T22:14:37.381-05:002011-12-02T22:14:37.381-05:00Tim, I too use the Jigsaw Strategy in my classroom...Tim, I too use the Jigsaw Strategy in my classroom. I find it very effective! My students love being the teacher and explaining their strategies and concepts. Teaching others helps the learner develop understanding of the content (Laureate Education, Inc., 2010). Using the jigsaw strategy in math is my favorite. I love it when my students explain how they solved the problem. What a great informal assessment!<br /><br />Laureate Education, Inc. (Producer). (2010). Social Learning Theories [DVD].
