I was just at a meeting sharing best practices. One teacher said she tried having students taking notes on what other students were saying. She'd say "Jon just made a really good point. Let's take that down in our notes." Then Jon would have to repeat slowly what he said so others could write it down. She collected the notes at the end of class. This was to value what other students in the class were saying and positioning them as experts (instead of just the teacher).
I'm really interested in doing this in my own classroom. I'm not exactly sure the structure of how this would look but quoting other students as part of the notes seems like a really great way for students to start leaning on each other.
