This module talked about the importance of annotating and this is one of the most helpful things you can do while reading. Annotating helps me memorize what I am reading about or noting what is most important from texts that I read. Highlighting and underlining was discussed in this module and I never realized how helpful doing little things like highlighting texts is. When I read an interesting article, I like to highlight so, I can easily find parts that I thought were interesting. Sometimes I do have a hard time figuring out if I should underline or highlight something I have read, but I usually tell myself if you think its important just do it.
This module not only reminded me how important it is to annotate, but it gave me plenty of resources to take advantage of to boost my learning. Quizlet being one of the resources which I use to prepare for a quiz or a test. It help me with my memorization by playing the games and taking pre-test. That is one of the resources mentioned in the module, but our discussion post in this module is what made me look into outside resources. One that a student posted in our discussion that will help me with annotating was notability. It is an app I plan to utilize and that I think other students like me should look into as well.
