I enjoyed this variant on a traditional jigsaw. It gave us the opportunity to preview information on our own time prior to the conference (Richard Culatta's Keynote on 6 trends to bring about transformation through use of technology in education), move about the room, and engage in conversations with a number of different participants with different backgrounds and experiences to share. This activity provided a good amount of structure for a fairly large group, but also the flexibility to speak from personal experience, ask relevant questions, and tailor discussion to specific areas of interest. We modeled some of Culatta's ideas by making the learning mobile, sharing/ opening resources among colleagues, providing and receiving immediate feedback through meaningful conversation, and personalizing the learning experience!
