Take notes Draw Read aloud Teach others

SLIDE 9 Sketchnoting is a less formal, non-linear method of notetaking. Created by visual learners interested in design, there is a lot of variation in the structure

f sketch-notes. For learners who like to doodle, the technique is a way to

keep their brain active and still engaged on the topic at hand. Research indicates notetaking like this can improve memory, creativity, and concept understanding, therefore and is often used by innovators and designers.
