Jigsaw Midterm Project
In this section, we begin with an introduction to four categories of assessment tools:
1. Quiz and Test Builders
2. Reflection Assessment Tools
3. Peer to Peer Collaboration Tools
4. Course Tracking Tools
In order to combine the four separate categories of this project into one discernible narrative, the team employed the use of a cooperative learning lesson design called Jigsaw. The concept of Jigsaw is based on the assumption that each member has a piece of information that can be used to advance the knowledge of the team as a whole, and thus will contribute to a better understanding of the material by all. With this thought in mind, each team member selected one area of the assignment and conjoined their findings into a united document that will be submitted in the form of a team assessment toolbox. As it was, team member Diane Reinfeldt chose to focus her research efforts on category one, while team member Rorey Pritchard selected category two for her individual research project. The two remaining team members, Gail Nichols and Chris Martin, each conducted individual learning discoveries that were related to categories three and four respectively. Through practice and inquiry, we each sought to find bridges between the four equally divided categories of assessment tools. Now as the deadline draws near for submitting the fruits of our labor, we shall treasure this learning experience as well as the individual lessons that were learned during the course of completing this assignment, because we found a way to put it all together.This is called teamwork.

Chris: You put the jigsaw experience into words so well describing the individual learning discoveries, bridging the four categories, and in the end how you put it all together”. Maybe we should change the name of the group midterm to “Putting it all together”!
