Your notes are extremely beautiful. I never ever took notes in school. I always studied the info from my textbook and highlighted the important parts. I am struggling with finding a good note taking method in college. I think I will give visual note taking a good try!😀 This video is my inspo💕
@@thatskums I have my students practice doing it while watching TED Talks, but you might try it with the video lectures in your courses, if you have any.
@@MindfulMarks Wow, making notes on Ted talks to practice - that's a great idea. I will definitely give that a try. Our lectures are recorded so I will be able to make notes from my lecture videos. That will be really helpful, cause I will be able to pause the video if I need to write for longer.
So are these how your notes look from the beginning or is this a finalization of the first live session? They look so neat and organized so I’m confused how you could get them to be so structured and properly laid out right from the live note taking session.
Yes - this is from the beginning - there is no redrawing or after drawing. Live visual note-taking is challenging! It takes practice, practice, practice and I am several years into this practice and still have much to improve and learn. BUT here's the thing - I find that I get SO MUCH MORE out of lectures and talks because of the heightened attention I am paying and the absolute nature of presence it requires.
I don’t get who your target audience is here? I hoped to get some instruction on visual notetaking. You sound as if you are taking to an already established class here?? Or referring to a previously shown video on the subject (though I don’t see any)? Or are you just showing off your work? Hope you make a video on how do this because your notes look very well organised and interesting.
Hi Celia, Yes, this was made for a college-level Visual Thinking course that I designed and teach. I just stuck the video here so that I can embed it in the course. I provide it, so that I can demonstrate “practice what you preach.” I want the students to know that I practice the methods that I am asking them to practice (because, well, they sometimes balk.) I'm thinking, though that making a short how-to (based on my method) video would be desirable... I'm way behind on video production, but this one would be easy because it has become second nature.
I designed an undergraduate class at my Uni that incorporates visual notetaking and I offer workshops on occasion, but not on a regular basis. There are some great people teaching these methods on a regular basis. I don't know where you are located, but a couple of sites you can check out are Mike Rohde's Sketchnote Handbooks rohdesign.com/ - they will teach you from start to finish, and check out sketchnotearmy.com/ which features all sorts of people practicing in their own ways.

Thank you! I'm so glad you are inspired. I highly recommend Mike Rohde's Sketchnote Handbook. It walks you through the process step-by-step.
@@MindfulMarks Thank you, I will definitely check it out!

Do you offer a class on visual note taking
