Visual Notetaking using an iPad
Sketchnotes are visual notes that incorporate words, lines, shapes, color, and simple drawings. You do not need to be an artist to sketchnote! This session will share the why and how to get started with creating digital sketchnotes using an iPad, along with the presenter’s personal journey with taking visual notes. An overview of the basic elements, techniques, apps, and styluses will be given, along with examples/lessons from the presenter and students.
