I quite liked the sketchnoting and the chapter on “Applying Multi Media Principles,” as pictures always help me connect information to something more than just words, or to real world examples. Now, I personally don’t doodle, and I am terrible at drawing, though if necessary I try my best. Though since I am not a person that likes to doodle, doing sketchnotes for everything would take away from my note taking. However, for certain things I do believe that I will try to doodle a picture if I think it will help me remember some information. Though along with this, I do hope in future to work this into my teaching and encourage my students to draw a small doodle about things they think is important or concepts they need or wish to remember.

In regards to the article on using words and graphs, I wholeheartedly agree that so many people, when doing a presentation, have pictures that in no way work with the words that are on screen, or only partially relate.Though the article says to inset pictures at the same time as writing your points, so not only can you find a picture that fits what you are saying, but you can also slighty alter what you are saying on the fly! For example, let’s say I have a point I want to talk about, and a picture I want to use, well if I’m inserting the picture while writing out my point, I can then change what I write to better match with the picutre.
