Our students come from middle-class suburbia. We're located in a small town in northeast Ohio where Friday nights mean walking to the local cafe after school to enjoy a chocolate chip cookie and football. It's a town steeped in tradition, and our kids attend school in the same building that William McKinley graduated from and Ida Tarbell taught in.
Our buildings are (literally) historical markers.
And while this is amazing, it is often not conducive to learning and playing sports in 2018. Our athletes and students are adaptive and embrace the uniqueness of our school.
My Project
Sketchnoting is not just doodling. Nor is it just a prettier version of notes. Research shows that students and adults who take visual notes are more likely to retain new information.
Sketchnoting allows students to supplement written notes with drawn images to reinforce a key concept or connect ideas.
My goal is to teach students to sketchnote so that they can synthesize information so they have yet another study skill in their arsenals.
In January, my students are participating in a Google Hangout with a sketchnoting expert who will teach my students the basics of this strategy. These markers and pens will help my students get started with sketchnoting and will be available to use during class.
