In this episode, I’m joined by Apple Distinguished Educator, speaker, and trainer Karen Bosch, who takes us on an exploration of sketchnoting. Karen shares how this powerful visual notetaking method combines drawings and text to enhance focus and retention for learners of all ages. You’ll hear Karen’s expert advice, her favorite digital tools, and plenty of tips for demystifying sketchnoting for students and teachers, too.
