Jigsaw Activities

Jigsaw activities are a cornerstone of active learning, designed to foster peer-to-peer education and break the monotony of traditional lectures. During Jigsaws, students are divided into small groups to master specific topics. After preparation, they reassemble in new groups to teach their peers, ensuring a dynamic exchange of ideas. I have found this method is particularly effective in neuroscience, where diverse examples and complex content benefit from varied perspectives.

I rely on jigsaw activities to cover repetitive material without losing student interest and quality videos are a vital component of this strategy. Below, you'll find a list of topics I've explored through jigsaws and the corresponding videos I've employed.
