In the latest episode of “School of Practice,” I talked about the importance of notetaking as a vehicle for learning, strategies for effective notetaking, and ways in which students can use their notes to better understand material. 

I’ve seen some lively debate over the purpose and meaning of note-taking. So, I’m curious: Do you require note-taking and, if so, how do you help students use those notes for purposeful learning? Thanks, and check out “School of Practice” on Apple and Spotify!
