I've had fairly good success with my Bio 2 class posting class notes to the wiki. I find that some are doing it more than others. Inspired by Rob Cormack this weekend, I'm going to try assigning the role of "daily scribe" to a student at the end of class who is responsible to post the "Big Ideas" and any relevant notes from that particular day.

I've also started a 'scribe' process for text and essential reading notes in my IB ITGS class. The students seemed receptive to the idea despite the fact that they were told to still take their own personal notes of the readings. I said that if you felt the scribes left something out, go ahead and add something to the wiki notes (I assign 2 scribes per reading. If items ideas/concepts/terms are doubled up between the notes of the two scribes, it just emphasizes the importance of the idea/concept/term). 1190286171

For the development of the HS Podcast, I set up pages on the wiki where the students would show their brainstormed ideas. For the first activity they were given questions in class to consider, then while at home they contributed their thoughts/impressions onto a page I created for this purpose. I used the table function to help organize the layout of the ideas. 1190286599
