Student Scribe

What do you see as the potential benefits and downsides to incorporating the work of student scribe into your classes?

Some benefits I can see from having a class scribe would be that the class would get better at organizing and communicating with each other. However on the downside I feel like some of the others that are not taking notes will be distracted and not engaged in the lesson. 

What benefits do you see for students who publish to a global audience?

Some benefits that students will have if they publish to a global audience would be diversity of people around the world and their learning styles. Also having different feedback and comments from people about their work. 

Do you think students will work harder on material that they prepare for that audience than they will when doing work for their teachers?

I do feel like students tend to work harder on material that they have to present or share with a audience. I have noticed that students get use to the teacher so having different audiences may help the student work harder on the assignment. 

How can teachers model sharing knowledge with a global audience?

Teachers can blog about their lesson plan or they can post a video of the lesson plans. They can have students make notes and or videos to show with an assignment teaching others about topics they are learning.
