Really one for the Primary Eds here. Scribing is a process by which class activity is recorded by a student in terms of the topics covered, resources found, group judgments and arguments etc. The summary is recorded somewhere, more recently as a post within a class blog or within the class wiki. This happens on a daily basis with each day involving a different student scribe. In terms of the activity being recorded it need not be for the whole day but could be just to capture a particular activity / topic. Some schools take this further and record the summaries on a wiki which are edited by the rest of the class. A long term view is that the class creates the course notes / text book….for the class
Taken from a school site (Mr. Armstrong’s U.S. History Wiki, click here) the link below is to a Class Scribe Prompt which is a series of questions which guides the scribe as they record the day’s activity. As ever although meant for Primary education the context could be transferred to HE.
Here’s an example of scribe posting on the class blog: click here
