The note taking tips and tricks in this module were probably the most useful thing that I learned this week. I have been trying to use the map method of taking notes and I feel like I am getting into a groove that works. I am looking forward to going back to review them to ensure that I am both capturing the information that is important as well as writing it down in a format that I can use to study moving forward. So far so good. I received a rocket book a few months back and have not set it up yet. Now that I saw this video:
I believe that I will set it up to scan to specific folders for my classes or work projects. I believe that this book may actually be the perfect blend between hand written notes and digital storage for my style of learning and information management.
The advice that I would have for anyone after going through this week’s module is fairly consistent with advice from previous weeks. Learn what works best for you. Understand how you learn and how you best take notes in classes or meetings. Do not neglect the possibility that there may be a new way of taking notes, such as with a stylus on your tablet, or a new way of storing that information like with the Rocket Book. Just because you have found something that works for you does not mean that there won’t be a way to improve your accuracy, retention, or management of that information available to you as early as tomorrow!
