Greetings,

I figured that you needed to hear from one of your Wicked Decent Chummies on this topic. For the last couple of years I've used Notetaker/Noteshare for my planbook. I like it because I can keep my notes, worksheets, assessments, websites, etc in one spot. Taking the time to reflect on the previous year is done quickly through this one stop shopping method.

Another solution that may work at the secondary level, a class wiki that is student supported. A teacher can share the ownership with the students. The expectation could be set where students rotate as the notetaker, thus creating a digital archive. I've seen it where the students will hold each other accountable for accuracy and the teacher can track the history. Teachers can used this living document to make adjustments for the future.

Another great show guys!

I agree with Michael-

A class wiki would be a great way to archive this stuff. I will have to think about using noteshare for this and I would love to see some sample pages from his planbook.

As far as what to call fans of the show, I submit this for your consideration.
