After mulling over my questions from my quickfire task last week (as well as adding a few more questions to the stack) I was challenged to sort my questions in different ways and make a sketchnote style video documenting my process. To say that I was excited to create a sketchnote style video is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Sketchnoting is simply combining visuals or pictures to note-taking tasks. It took a lot of planning to set up my mini studio (and even then my camera wasn’t as high up as I would have liked), planning out what I would draw and how I would sort my questions, and finally editing the video footage and audio together I knew would be a challenge but my end result below is pretty good first attempt at sketchnoting! I love watching these types of videos, I am a very visual learner, and I feel in a math classroom visual cues go a long way for students too. This is one of the main reasons I decided to move to an Interactive Student Notebook style of taking notes in class. Because it is interactive, creative, and visual for students I feel they tend to use their notes more effectively because they don’t always think of just looking at examples in a textbook. A math blog I follow, mathgiraffe.com has ‘doodle’ notes and I have been super intrigued to try them in class as well because I do feel that math is so creative and students don’t always see this. Adding this style of videos to the videos I currently make for my students would certainly break up the monotony for them and perhaps get them more interested in what we are learning. Resources:
