How can your foresee Sketchnoting being used within learning and teaching settings?
In our teaching environment, we read a lot of text and materials. Because the capacity of our brain is limited, how can we summarize what we read more quickly and easily? Sketching is a useful method to turn passive learning activities into active learning activities in our multidisciplinary study. According to the principle of our multimedia learning, I think sketching is a way to meet the principle and use pictures and pictures. The main thing is that sketching is a very primitive way of taking important notes with just a pen and a piece of paper.
I think learning how to make a sketch makes me better remember and understand an article or the content of the class. In the process of making a sketch, we can draw some small pictures to replace a paragraph. For example, in my class Pass151, because it is a course about modern Chinese history, there are a lot of connections between culture and internationalization and social influence that are difficult to be clarified by text understanding. But I use shorthand notes such as arrows and simple ICONS to help with text comprehension. For example, I drew a lot of small people as a group to represent the popular culture, so that I could clearly distinguish the popular culture from the mainstream culture, including their final purpose (the symbol of money).
All in all, I think sketching notes helps me use the process of drawing to help me remember the text. It’s also an auxiliary function that helps the brain remember things. If you have any questions, please leave a comment for me. Thank you.
Hi, Jingjing ☺️
Thank you for sharing this; this week, we have been learning about sketchnoting, and I think it is a helpful way for us to learn. In the process of making our skechnoting, it can be very effective in improving our memory because we are basically in four to five lessons now. It would be complicated to remember all the knowledge points in each lesson. However, this way of learning allows us to deepen our impressions through drawing during the learning process and summarise down the more essential knowledge points that can be easily found in the notes. With the sketchnoting you have shared, in which you have used arrows to mark out important information, it is easy to find relevant content to your title. And in your sketchnoting, you expressed the critical content you recorded mainly through drawing. I could understand very quickly what the knowledge you shared was about through your drawings; for example, the markings in the bottom right corner I could know what the purpose of your learning content was, using music symbols, portraits and money markings to reflect your entire learning content, clearly The relationship between popular culture and society in modern Chinese history, and their final goal in relation to economics and international, is very simple and clear. As most of my own sketchnoting is textual and more challenging to understand than using pictorial symbols, in the future, I will use more symbols and images in the same way to simplify the content and make it easier to remember.
