2. Chapter 6 Summarizing and Note Taking “The instructional strategy summarizing and note taking focuses on enhancing students’ ability to synthesize information and distill it into a concise new form. (p119)

3. Generalizations Summarizing ◦ Students need to delete information, substitute information and keep some information and then analyze it at a deeper level Note Taking ◦ Verbatim note taking is the least effect way to take notes ◦ Notes should be considered a work-in-progress, and should be used as a study guide for tests ◦ The more notes that are taken, the better

4. Word Processing Applications Summarizing ◦ Track Changes Feature – Word ◦ Auto Summarize – Word Note Taking ◦ Combination notes ◦ Use bullet organization when taking notes Wordsimages summary

5. Organizing and Brainstorming Summarizing ◦ Summary frames  Inspiration Note Taking ◦ Inspiration can be transfered into word to give students both an image based notes system and an outline (text) based notes

6. Multimedia “When students experience multimedia, they sometimes get caught up in the entertainment factor and neglect the critical analysis of the content necessary to create useful notes they can use for further study.” When they create multimedia presentations, they are more likely to focus on the presentation (look) than content.

7. Multimedia Continued Powerpoint is a great option for summarizing and notetaking ◦ Content on the slides needs to be short, and slides can be printed with a note taking option
