Had a recent conversation with a teacher about Visual Note Taking, so wanted to share a few resources. This concept has been around for a long time and many of you may already use visual note-taking strategies with students in the classroom on various levels (visual vocabulary, organizing writing, science, health, math, history concepts, music, art and so much more).
Whether via paper/pencil, chromebook or iPad, students do not need to be artists to visualize learning...in any subject/discipline.
Students can visually emphasize solely the text and layout (no drawings or colors) of their Cornell notes and other note-taking strategies as well.
It may not be for everyone, but it's a great strategy for some students to help bring the learning "story" to life and make it stick!
Take or Toss ~ As always, please let us know if you'd like to explore together or collaborate on ideas for tools to implement.
