Note taking...something we want our students to do, and often it is taught as a study skill as an outline. But many of our students are visual learners. This post explores using mind maps and doodling as forms of note taking.

Doodling also works well for many visual learners. This post quotes Temple Grandin "the world needs all kinds of minds." If a student thinks in pictures doodling allows them to visualize connections. More information on this is in the post as are links to a number of resources.
