Too often educators teach specific note taking strategies like Cornell Notes without teaching students WHY they work.

Tune in to hear Gretchen outline a straightforward approach to helping take better notes.

Specifically, she discusses:

• Review the Study Cycle, which summarizes the three steps the brain needs to learn
• Understand where good note taking fits into the Study Cycle (hint: encoding!)
• Discuss the two steps to note-taking
• Learn tips for how to put each of these steps into practice.

At one point in this episode, Gretchen references the excellent graphic organizers at www.ThinkingMaps.com.
