Sketchnoting: Creative Notes for Technical Content
summary
Sketchnoting claims that live, hand-drawn notes boost focus and memory and produce shareable artifacts; techniques include active listening, filtering for “what would I tweet,” and using simple shapes to represent concepts. Tools shown: Uniball pen, a warm-gray shading marker, heavy grid paper, tablets with Sketchbook, Post‑its for temporary capture, and Twitter/Sketchnote Army for sharing. Practice shrinks two pages per talk down to one, yields thank‑you tweets, and intentionally adds decoration after capturing core ideas.
