In my final submit I explored the cognitive
benefits to utilizing Doodle Notes within the classroom. Downsides to offering
college students with a sheet of clean paper and asking them to repeat down your doodles
is that you just lose the time effectivity of a fill-in-the-blank notice and their thought
course of and creativity is likely to be stifled by your personal. For these causes I
created a scaffolding for the Doodle Notes, in order that my class time was being
used effectively, college students nonetheless had alternatives to infuse their very own
creativity and I may clarify why I selected the photographs and paths that I did… and
possibly a part of the rationale was that I’m too type-A that my very own doodles would
take ceaselessly to attract out.

For essentially the most half, I create my Doodle
Notes in PowerPoint (I’m studying Adobe Illustrator however the studying curve is
STEEP!) I’ve discovered I can carry out most duties in PowerPoint fairly properly, however
Adobe Illustrator has some technical benefits.
With
PowerPoint, I can create rapidly. It’s simple to import clipart and fonts
that I’ve bought. I may even create customized shapes by utilizing the “Edit
Factors” choice. There are limitations, however most of those are visible and
don’t have an effect on the scholars’ studying (lack of ability to alter the thickness of line
artwork, troublesome to “lock” objects in place).
Adobe Illustrator has an enormous studying
curve. I am a Science instructor, not a graphic artist! I’ve been utilizing tutorials and templates to
assist me alongside, however these include a value – the most costly being the time
it takes to be taught and create. The largest benefit to utilizing Adobe
Illustrator is the masterpiece that’s created as soon as the scaffolded Doodle Notice
is full.

Both means, college students are extra probably

to return and examine from their Doodle Notes, in comparison with their extra
conventional notes.
With both program, I start with
figuring out which orientation I feel would work greatest (portrait or panorama),
and create a 8.5”x11” slide or artwork board. After reviewing what ideas I
need to cowl, I write out the content material on the web page (which I later take away for
the scholars to enter) and seek for photos that assist the content material. I
contemplate what the scholars can colour along with what they will draw and
write. I begin with the important thing photos – that is likely to be the Solar, Moon and
Earth for a Doodle Notice about photo voltaic and lunar eclipses. As I proceed, and
place the picture and textual content parts, I add connectors like arrows to solidify
these connections for the scholars. Loads of adjusting occurs all through
the method. It does take lots of time to create, however college students begin
begging for these notes as soon as they’ve had a style!

In my subsequent submit, I’ll discover how I
