ITC: 143 - Using Guided Notes in the Classroom
(Last Updated On: October 1, 2022)

Every tool has its time and place. Some tools such as lecturing are used too often and lose their effect. However, in combination with other tools, lectures can be the perfect learning tool. One tool that can turn a lecture from a passive activity to an active one is guided notes also known as skeleton notes. Guided notes can also be used for grasping the essential content from videos and reading assignments.

According to William L. Heward, a professor at the Ohio State University, Guided Notes are “Guided notes are instructor-prepared handouts that provide all students with background information and standard cues with specific spaces to write key facts, concepts, and/or relationships during the lecture.”

Guided notes can help students stay on task while listening to a lecture, watching a video, or reading a chapter. This can lead to increased academic performance. 

This week, I am going to share tips for creating beneficial guided notes to support lectures, videos, and reading assignments.
