I am thrilled to be part of Miami Device this upcoming November (Thank you Felix Jacomino for making this possible) If you are in the Miami area, or need a tropical getaway in November, consider joining an incredible line up of educational leaders!
I am especially thrilled to be sharing, for the first time, my journey of learning about and with Sketchnoting.
My Session Description:
The term sketchnoting describes a style of visual note-taking recently gaining popularity among conference attendees. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to be an artist to sketchnote and to take advantage of a different type of learning and making content connections beyond conference keynotes . Sketchnoting is helping make your thinking visible and shareable as you are reading a professional book, watching a movie clip, reading an educational blog post or article or listening to a lecture of conference keynote.
This workshop is for educators who want to hone their abilities to listen more intently, summarize and organize their notes in a visual way and learn how to do this with their students. NO artistic talent required.
We will look at structures of a sketchnote, typography, connectors, containers and work on your own visual library. Please bring a paper and a pencil/pen or your iPad with a drawing app (ex. Paper by fiftythree).
