Visualized learning is not just doodling.
There are strategies and processes to approach sketching to allow for consistency in meaning.
Consider font style, color and size when creating your sketches.
Looking at the larger picture can be overwhelming...
Look for smaller pieces and use basic/standard shapes to build your designs.
Sketchnotes have multiple purposes--use goes beyond documenting content.
Sketchnotes instead of a test for students to show what they know.
Sketchnotes as a "word bank"/"cheat sheet" for assessment (are we testing memory or understanding of concepts. Sketchnotes eliminate memory/recall issue as point of access obstacle to demonstration of learning.

Session: Flexible Seating
Couches
Students choose where to sit
Use cards to pair kids up (King of Heart goes with Ace of Spades)
How to get started?
Asking on Craig's List
Shower board Home Depot makes white board table
Next Door app
Whiteboard paint
Crates
Flexible seating options but still have student desks
Removing desks makes more space
Store stuff in backpacks
Plastic bins to store things
Pencil cases travel with kids
Jr. High shop class build cubbies
Get rid of teacher desk
If you cannot get rid of it use as a student standing desk
Might not need file cabinet
Flexible seating is about mindset and not the furniture
