Technology Jigsaw

During IPC today students participated in a jigsaw activity with technological inventions.  In groups of 4, students read and elicited information about a specific technological invention.  They then formed an independent opinion of whether that invention makes life better or not and why.  Next they jigsawed.  So one person from each group came together to make a new group: a person with a different invention comprising each group.  The inventions and information were shared as well as the perspectives on if this technology made life better.  I was pleased at how most groups really took well to this task and held some focused discussions.
