SketchNoting

I am participating in a PAECT Book Study, the book is Thrive Through the Five, by Dr. Jill M. Siler. At the end of each chapter, she includes a Sketchnote of ideas to summarize the chapter content. I attended a series of webinars through PAECT on Sketchnoting with Sylvia Duckworth, and have shown the concept to my classes. I need to revisit this skill over the summer and utilize it in my classes for my more visual learners. I am not adept enough of an artist to Sketchnote while taking notes, I would focus too much on the art and lose the content. I am better at revisiting the content after I take notes in a traditional format and converting them into images.

I will add this to my Summer To-Do List.

Summer 2024

Summer break officially started this past Friday, June 1, 2024. Since then I have been running to catch up with Summer break as family responsibilities, getting caught up with yard work, gardening, and life in general have been first and foremost on my agenda.

As time unwinds, I plan to make the most of this Summer to rest, recharge, and retool. Self-care is important as is self improvement. While I take care of myself, the plan is to improve things for my students, by way of studying various new tools and improvements to existing tools I use.

I hope to journal about this journey here.
