Should Students be required to take notes?

Jennifer Gonzales, and educational blogger that I follow, posted a fabulous review on the research about note-taking on her blog "Cult of Pedagogy". She condensed the information into 8 key take-aways that are quick to absorb and apply to your own classroom.

If you have ever wondered whether students should be required to take notes, this is a really great read. She also covers Cornell note-taking and Sketch notes and even how the 2 can be combined. I hope you will check it out!
