The Jigsaw Method

If you only have five computers in your classroom the jigsaw method would help you make sure everybody in the class got to use and have access to the computer by putting everyone in small groups.

An advantage of this method would be that it makes kids cooperate in groups and know how to work together in groups.

A disadvantage of this technique is that not everyone would participate equally and some kids wouldn't get to use the computers in the group.

Technology for my classroom.

I'm already seeing so many things that I could use in my classroom as a teacher. Especially kids with disability's, with today's technology it feels as if almost anyting is possible for them. Let's get rid of dry-erase boards and use touch screen computers instead!
