Visual Note Taking: How to Draw Your Notes and Remember Everything You Learn!

Students often get bored during class and start doodling meaninglessly in the corner of their notes. Boredom is a sign of unused intelligence. What if they could use their creativity to doodle MEANINGFULLY in their notes?

As a professional game designer, animator, web designer, educator, and life long learner, I have found that drawing my notes, using the viznotes technique, allows me to 
- remember more of what I wrote/drew
- allows me to review my notes more easily
- makes me look like a genius to my peers
- is more fun
- is more engaging
- illustrates my understanding of the material
- allows me to say more with less words (a picture is worth a 1,000 words)
- be more organized

In this one-time event class I will 
1. Show examples of Visual Notes, 
2. walk students step by step through some different methods, techniques, and structures they can implement, and 
3. then we will practice the technique and show off our notes to everyone else in the class.

I taught high school graphic design classes for 9 years, and nearly all of my students loved this technique.
