Sketchnoting in school
I’m starting a three-session unit on sketchnoting with my 7th and 8th graders today. Here’s my interpretation of Dan Nichols’ Kehillah Kedoshah – we’ll see what they come up with.

I just taught a workshop on sketchnoting at the ICE conference. Here’s the link to a folder containing my presentation and supporting materials, if you’re interested. Let me know, also, if you’d be interested in coming to “sketchnote camp” this summer – I’m thinking one morning a week for a couple of hours.
Tumble Science podcast for kids tells the stories of science discoveries. You can listen in your browser, or subscribe via iTunes.
The Jewish Education Project has a new website – and it’s packed! While some of their programs are specifically for the New York area, there’s much here that is of interest to other communities.
Sketchnoting at Camp
Here are some more samples of my continuing quest to become a sketchnoter. While spending two weeks at an overnight camp is a departure from the typical sketchnote-worthy activity, I thought it would be a good place to practice. Still loving the process!
