Sketchnoting
We are participating in #sketchCUE - 25 days of Sketch Note practice. Each day is a different concept/image that we will try to draw to build our skills and the ability to draw quickly for note taking. Why Sketchnote? “Dual Coding Theory - proposed in the 1970’s by Allan Paivio, suggests that the brain processes information using two primary channels: verbal and visual.” The Sketchnote Handbook by Mike Rohde “Sketchnoting activates verbal and visual modes to capture concepts. YOUR WHOLE BRAIN is absorbed in hearing, synthesizing and seizing ideas.” “When your brain codes verbal and visual concepts together, it’s also building a visual map of what you are hearing, seeing, and thinking.” The Sketchnote Handbook by Mike Rohde “Engaging your whole brain has other positive effects, like improving your memory and recall.” The Sketchnote Handbook by Mike Rohde |
