Teacher for Learning-Cornell Note-Taking Method & Extend Activity

 



Kwik Cornell Notes

The Ted talk that I watched was Unleash Your Super Brain To Learn Faster | Jim Kwik. While taking notes using the Cornell Note-Taking method, I really focused on making things fit the off centered 'I'. This was a distraction. I also noticed that it bothered me if my spacing was off. As you can see by my notes that I needed to readjust the bottom line to accommodate for a final note. When I teach my students to use the Cornell Note-taking method, I think I'll teach them to draw an off-center 'T' and when the are ready for the summary make it an 'I'. I may also encourage them to re-write the notes adding colors or images at home as a way to reinforce the days lesson, or to keep a blank page between notes so that when they are ready to study before an exam they can read and then copy the notes on the next page.

I would like to successful shape the semesters to be project-based with a student portfolio submission at the end of each semester. I ...

Curation for Learning- Curation Creation Extend Activity

Moving from Oral to Written Skills Flipgrid is a useful inclusive application that can be used with students in personal, positive, and profound way. Users may narrow down their topic search by selecting the subject and community as well as key words. Using Language Arts, High School and expository I selected, 'Danger of a Single Story' . The activity offers students a TedTalk with transcript to view and then uses Flipgrid for students to record responses to two questions. It offers viewing tips for instructors as well. I could use this Flipgrid activity in my 10th grade English class as an engaging warm-up activity before beginning a dystopian novel.   To view the video . To view the Padlet for this and other great resources and/or activities shared by others.
