Cornell Notes Revisited

I wanted to share a powerpoint resource that was shared with me recently. It is a great discussion of Cornell notes and took my understanding to a higher level re: how we might use them more effectively as thinking tool as well as an organizational tool. This "expanded view" could facilitate the use of higher level thinking, higher level questioning, thinking maps, diagrams and other visual resources in addtion to the text we typically incorporate in note taking.



Take a moment and look at the powerpoint attached below. I would be interested in any thoughts, comments etc. that you have.

  1. Becky,
    I think this ppt will be helpful for me to use next year (maybe as a reminder this year). I do show my classes how to use cornell notes but I think many of them may not truly get it??

    Thanks for the info.

  2. Hey Becky! This is like the presentation Diane and Erin and I give. Glad you put it up here for all to see. Pine Grove uses Cornell a lot as you know.
