About Group Scribbles
Group Scribbles enables students and a teacher to scribble contributions on sheets
similar to post-it notes and to jointly manage the movement of these electronic notes
within and between public and private spaces.
Using Group Scribbes, a classroom can enact
a surprisingly wide range of cooperative
activities with content ranging from simple sketches and annotations to Chinese character,
mathematical symbols and more elaborate concept maps.
Because Group Scribbles encourages decentralized control and individual initiative within
a collective framework, students are more involved in both contributing and responding to
content as well as managing shared visual spaces.
Because Group Scribbles is a flexible medium
based on a simple and familiar metaphor, teachers and students feel more comfortable in
inventing their own forms of participatory engagement.
