Our students live in a media rich world. They think in images, video, and sound while constantly making neural connections. The iPad empowers students to draw, audio record, insert images and embed hyperlinks to information sources all in a very personalized way. This is where visual note-taking (also called sketchnoting) comes in. We can expand note-taking choices beyond just text recording by guiding students to use mind maps, colors, shapes, images, digital grouping by dragging and dropping objects, and using connecting lines to record their thinking. Talk about individualizing and personalizing student learning! Here are a few resources to help paint the picture of visual note-taking.
