Teaching and Learning with Sketchnotes

Sketchnoting, or visual notetaking, allows students to creatively organize their thoughts using sketches. Sketchnoting targets the auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners as all three areas are utilized. Whether taking notes the traditional way and later creating a sketchnoted version, or sketching notes during a lecture, with sketchnotes students showcase their personalized understanding of the content. Learn how to teach students the basics of visual notetaking, how to create a structure that can be used for the process, and practice creating and sharing various types of sketchnotes in this workshop. Apps and tools that can be used for digital sketchnoting will also be covered. Participants should bring an iPad 2 or newer or an Android Tablet or a touch-screen Windows tablet or a unlined journal with heavy-weight pages with a gel pen and colored pencils to the workshop. Those using digital devices should also bring a stylus. Please install the Microsoft OneNote app on device.
