Often times when I watch an information video on Youtube, I see sketchnoting being virtually shown as the speaker is talking. I never really thought about the benefits of it, and how it could be actually applied in the classroom. Since visuals can help students retain information and engage them better, I think that sketchnoting is a great tool to use in the classroom. I think it would be difficult to use it for every class, since some classes may require faster note-taking and a visual sketch, even done afterwards, might be difficult to render, for example, English language class- how could someone sketch something besides an alphabet letter? I think that if the teacher uses sketchnoting rather than having students come up with it by themselves unless it is a mini project or way to engage the students, the teacher using sketchnoting would be more valuable. They could print out the notes, or use it on a slide and have students copy it, or also just see it for the visual aspect. I also think that it could be a good resource for having students look over their notes after class, and make sketches so they can retain the information and see it again in a different way. Overall I think sketchnoting could be a great resource for teachers to use either on their slides or maybe as printouts or after note-taking comprehension tasks to engage students and help them retain information learned with a visual queue.
