Workshop Description:
According to researchers, the act of doodling helps learners stay focused, grasp new concepts and retain information longer. Instead of asking our students NOT to doodle, let’s embrace it. Learn how to leverage simple drawings, lines, and arrows to increase the effectiveness of your instruction. Join educator Kandice Stewart as she shares how visuals can help build long-term memory and share easy steps to get started implementing visual note-taking in your class today!
Learning Objectives
- Participants will complete an assessment of their current note-taking instruction.
- Participants will be able to describe why visual note-taking impacts student retention.
- Participants will identify the topics and content in their course that best support visual note-taking & cultivate digital resources for implementation.
