Good insight from Wes Fryer on Giulia Forsythe's visual note-taking. He writes, "Do you take visual notes yet? Have you taught your own students about visual notetaking or graphic facilitation yet? In addition to watching Guilia’s presentation video, check out some of the other videos and tutorials on the “Visual Notetaking” page of “Mapping Media to the Common Core.” Very inspiring ideas to both apply personally and share with students!" I tried taking visual notes during Idea City in 2003, which went well, but did not inspire me to abamdon my existing practice of converting presentations into articles on the fly.
