Explain the job that your group has read about:
 * a group notetaker to record the collaboration going on in the group/classroom

How students use the job to contribute to the learning community:
 * organize and highlight important information and creative thinking occuring in the classroom

Brainstorm a list of ways that you could implement this job in your current classroom using technology:
 * math - notetaker would take notes for their problem solving group and then share on the projection screen with class, teacher could modify, add, change things to enhance learning of a concept
 * content area - groups could record information in blog and then share visually (Jigsaw - share what they learn)
 * Designated student could take notes using word, use the shared drive, as "independent reading" during the week, other students could review and add additonal items or use "track changes" or "comments" to share where they disagree, have other ideas, etc. This supports reading for information, critical reading, keyboarding practice, etc.
 * In math tables, science tables, book discussion groups, each group could take notes, then post on shared drive and compare
 * In addition to a scribe, one student could take digital images to support the notes
 * Students who are absent can read the notes to see what happened
 * Students could post questions about what they read.
