The first workshop I attended was "Tap into YOUR Creative Mind" by Tech Rabbi Michael Cohen. In this workshop, the importance of sketch-noting was described. Cohen showed examples of how to sketch-note, different useful apps for sketch-noting and why this is important. I learned that it was effective in allowing mindset and mechanics to work together, making learning visible and memorable. I think it will be very useful to use as a student, as it will be a creative way to study and remember information through classes, all whilst building my skill at sketch-noting (which Cohen emphasised that a lot of practice is needed). This information I learnt at the workshop and the new skill I am building on will be very useful as a future teacher as I can use this in the classroom, whether it be showing my own sketch-notes to my future class or even getting them to try it out, as it will ultimately help them to remember information, thus improving their learning.
