Activity Instructions

Part 1: In 5 minutes, become “experts” on the UMN resource on your table tent. What is this resource for instructors? What’s one thing you’d like the group to know? What’s one question you have about it?
You’ll hear a signal to stop and move to part 2.
Part 2: Find your assigned number to form your “jigsaw” group. Take 2-3 minutes each to share the three things you learned. You’ll get a signal after 3 min. to switch.
Let’s hear a few nuggets you found that you
want everyone to know about.
