  • One concern that seemed to pop up several times in the wave was that Google Wave could make it too easy for lazy students to get by. As Justin Neitzey succinctly put it: "I don't think kids should be allowed piggy back off the work of others."

Public Stiky Notes

    I'm with Michael on this one: I see it as a definite step forward, but only so long as teachers will be able to go back and look and the notes: then they'll have a better sense of what the students got out of it, too.

    I could never keep up, I write too slow. Others notes would help get the complete presentation.

    Or, it can promote the cross-pollination of ideas, stimulate discussion and debate and identify alternative viewpoints.

    Doesn't collaborative note-taking destroy part of the value of note-taking (that one must take notes oneself, concentrating on converting aural information to written)?

    This wouldn't be a problem, as every edit is recorded and any student not pulling their own weight could easily be identified by a quick review of the wave history.

    Exactly! The ability to play back a group's "thinking aloud" has constructivist learning principles written all over it. Very helpful for language learners and critical thinking development.

    One point that's been missed so far, is that you don't have to use Wave collaboratively. You can use it to take notes on your own, but still retain the possibility of sharing and discussing those notes later: all the benefits of both taking your own notes and discussing them with colleagues at a later date.

    This is why I don't think Wave is that important for note-taking. It's potential is in groups of students / teachers working collaboratively on projects, either synchronously, or asynchronously. Reading the resultant outcome would be the same as reading a blog post, and therefore not as powerful as being a participant.

    My point exactly. And so how does collaborative authoring of notes compare to solitary authoring (and then, perhaps, sharing)?
  • jaredstein
    Jared Stein on 2009-10-29
    Not so sure it's clear, at least not from this example. This example hinges on the premise that collaborative note-taking is beneficial, an assumption that is neither argued nor justified here.

    r searching some public 'waves,' we came across an educational wave. Entitled 'Wave in Class,' this wave was started by Loren Baum (a self-described "collaborative learning enthusiast" and graduate student at Ben Gurion University) and Sam Boland (a Politics student and "Tech Enthusiast" at Occidental College, Los Angeles).
