Check out the creativity of SI students - the collection of student sketchnotes from danah boyd's talk at the JSB symposium last week is now online!
Sketchnotes are just visual notes - they use pictures, doodles, typography, etc. to represent concepts rather than taking verbatim notes. Studies have shown that this type of visual notetaking actually helps you focus more during a talk, and also helps you remember more of the details later. Sketchnotes have been popularized recently by people like Mike Rohde, whose sketchnotes from SxSW and other conferences have circulated widely on the web.
Participating students (in order of sketchnotes):
* Yang-Chen (Avalon) Hu, Human-Computer Interaction student
* Colleen Theisen, Tailored student
* Katie McCurdy, Human-Computer Interaction student
* Laura Rodrian, Tailored student
* Jeremy Canfield, Tailored student
* Dug Song, local entrepreneur
* Debra Lauterbach, Human-Computer Interaction and Social Computing student
* Elaine Engstrom, Human-Computer Interaction and Library & Information Services alum
