Five Ideas in a Flash

* Upload a primary source on PicMonkey and write on it - a connection, a thought, a title. Save the photo and then upload it in Jigsaw Planet. Solve the puzzle to find the information.

* Set up a puzzle for students to solve - then analyze the image afterwards.

* Have students create a puzzle for each other by selecting an image that they feel represents the unit of study. Swap images, have students solve them, and then create a justification statement of WHY that image connects to the topic at hand.

* Create a puzzle using text instead of an image. Use the solved puzzle as a writing prompt launch for an assessment or activity.

* Share a puzzle with another source ( Like a museum, classroom, etc ) and share their learning about the image or ask a key question about it.
