An idea I've always toyed with but never done from D. Kuropatwa at The Difference. He gets the students to write the summary of the lessons on the class blog. He tells them:

"Write a brief summary of what we learned in class today. Include enough detail so that someone who was away sick, or missed class for any other reason, can catch up on what they missed ... Over the course of the semester, the scribe posts will grow into the textbook for the course; written by students for students. Remember that as each of you write your scribe posts. Ask yourself: 'Is this good enough for our textbook?' And remember, you have a global audience, impress them."

It would be a lot more useful to fellow-students than the token sumários that we have to write. I suspect it would make a better sabenta too.
