Lately I’ve been working on developing some educational coursework related to the public works field. Through this effort I’ve come across some interesting online tools that can be used for educational purposes. One of these tools, Jigzone, takes a photo and turns it into a jigsaw puzzle. As an example, I’ve started with one of my favorite photos of a roller compacting an asphalt pavement. If you like, you can try solving the puzzle by clicking the image below. And if you want to make your own puzzles, all you have to do is create a free account over on the Jigzone website. Because the site allows embedding of your puzzles on your own website, you can take photos of your community or your projects and embed them on your agency’s website as a way to engage citizens.
Quite a clever (and fun) idea. Thanks!
It was even of an asphalt roller!
Yep! It’s since been shared on the Facebook pages of a few asphalt groups (including NAPA) …
Thanks! I shared your FB post on my page – that is so cool! I’ve always loved NAPA!
Glad to hear it! I’ve been enjoying your informative blog posts on GovLoop … Not sure how we can make use of virtual worlds yet, but it’s good to consider the possibilities …
