Note-Making
A.P. European History and the Wiki

Wikis: A part of our classroom our classroom will be utilizing an online read/write platform called a wiki. These wikis will play a major role in student note-making. Students will no-longer be note-taking. You will utilize the classroom lectures, the Palmer-Colton textbook, and online resources, and primary and secondary documents, to construct a collaborative collection of knowledge about the topic of the day - week - unit - etc. Everyday, there will be a student designated as a class scribe. The role of the scribe is to organize and summarize the important information of the day. The scribe will then post all the information they feel important to our class wiki. Students are asked to look at the wiki everyday and edit the wiki appropriately. The intention of this online read/write platform is to develop an engaging, interactive, collaboration of knowledge, constructed by our students. I am always looking for insight and constructive criticism from our students. Please feel free to comment on the use, effectiveness, and possible innovations you may have for this form of learning.
