Sketch Noting: Using Listening and Drawing to Change the World | Sherrill Knezel | TEDxMarquetteU

Sherrill Knezel explores the power of listening, and argues that incorporating sketch noting in professional, academic and everyday life can create opportunities for learning, growth and widespread change. Sherrill Knezel is a graphic recorder, illustrator, and art educator in Wauwatosa, WI where she uses her expertise in visual literacy and graphic recording to help students, educators, and organizations tell the heart of their story through images and text. She leads visual literacy workshops to empower people to use visuals to increase connection, clarity, and collaboration. Sherrill is the founder of Meaningful Marks LLC, a graphic recording and illustration firm that focuses on using visuals and graphic recording to support nonprofits, educators, and corporate sector clients in conversations around racism, inclusion, and creating generative and transformative change in their communities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I used Tony Buzan’s Mind-mapping techniques to summarise my notes for exam purposes at school and at university - it is a method similar to what you are doing but also serves as a mnemonic aid for remembering lots of information. Later on I worked in computers and business and I also used mind-mapping when interviewing users about their systems and process requirements and to clarify my thoughts,
Later in life, I started writing creatively and I still use Mind-mapping to work out the initial ideas for short stories and poems. I found though, that when people are not visual learners, or are very linear thinkers, they find it a very cumbersome method.

Yes indeed, taking notes in a dynamic way can help you memorize and save info. In a better way!!

Just what I needed to hear today. Like the child whose thoughts were congested and flowed not like butter, I feel I truly benefit from sketch noting.
