Take Perfect Lecture Notes
Stewart Mader writes a blog on using Wikis in education. He wrote a post recently that highlighted an article How to Take Perfect Lecture Notes. I thought this may interest our Tyndale students. Stewart expands this article by suggesting that the use of a personal wiki tool would work really well along with this method.
“After reading the suggestions for taking notes, then organizing and rewriting the later, I think creating a personal wiki site and bringing a laptop to class might be an optimal way to do this. Imagine taking notes in your wiki, then simply editing those very notes and expanding them into more cohesive pieces of information. The ease-of-use of a wiki would enable you to refine and rewrite not just once, but in an ongoing way as you remember things from the lecture. You might even invite friends to edit your wiki, thus creating a collective repository of notes that you all can access at any time. This brings a whole new meaning to Can I borrow your notes?”
