Piecing Together Literacy

Hi Everyone,

Here is a link to my Rip.Mix.Feed assignment: https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=3a1fe01b721f

I decided to go with www.jigsawplanet.com . Initially I wanted to use some sort of large interconnected diagram showing the evolution of communication, but I found this very challenging to find while using Creative Commons 0 searches. In the end, I decided on an image that was still relevant to the class, though I won’t describe it here, as that would defeat the purpose of the puzzle and rob you of the joy of discovery as you complete it.

I liked the idea of a puzzle. It felt like a good representation of how I felt throughout this course. Finding the outside framework, picking up pieces I didn’t understand at first and didn’t know how they fit together, and slowly finding out how they were all interconnected to create a larger image/perspective.

I liked this app as it provided a bit of fun and entertainment. It was extremely straight forward to use, it is very easy to share, and it has the option for the user to change the difficulty. I added the source information using Paint. I initially tried Fun Photo Box, but I’m currently in a small port in Alaska and the internet connection didn’t allow the program to function properly.
