I have heard many times over that students have better recall of notes they write when they are handwritten. I was looking at Twitter this afternoon and saw a person sharing her students' sketchnotes and it caught my attention.
What is it?
Basically, it is a combination of text and drawings to summarize learning. The Tweets mentioned earlier had the students using a comic book template to write about the Milky Way Galaxy.
Why does it matter?
It has students synthesize information in a meaningful way to them. And, by creating visuals along with text, important information is easily highlighted. (I'm sure drawing it out helps commit it to memory as well.)
