Get Your Doodle On & Sketchnote!

What is Sketchnoting?
Using visuals, text, and organization to create awesome notes!

Benefits to Student Learning
It is an extension to rethink learning. Students can bring learning to life with their own perspective. It also improves depth of conversation among students.

​Digital vs. Analog-- Choose What Fits 

• ​Analog: Unlined paper and writing utensils​
  
• Digital: Paper by 53, Scribble feature in the iPad’s Notes features

Research by Mueller & Oppenheimer states
​handwritten notes are more effective than typed notes. Personalizing notes and depicting thought processes increases recall and comprehension.
