The Bare Bones of Using Skeletal Notes in Your Classroom
October 15 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Do you want to help your students stay engaged while focusing on the most important ideas in your lectures? Skeletal notes (also called guided notes) provide a framework that allows learners to listen actively, fill in key information, and better organize new knowledge. In this workshop, we will explore the benefits of skeletal notes, review examples, and learn how best to create skeletal notes from presentation slides. You’ll leave with practical strategies and ideas to help strengthen student learning in your courses.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Explain the purpose and benefits of skeletal notes for supporting student learning and engagement
- Recognize important components to include in skeletal notes
- Identify steps to develop skeletal notes using Microsoft PowerPoint and Word
