Ted Talk A history of Indigenous languages — and how to revitalize them
I found this exercise very difficult to complete. All through my education, I have never been good at taking notes. I find that if I am writing notes then I am not listening to the speaker. I have found I absorb more by just listening and then making notes after the speaker, so I feel more… »

I have found in the past that even with guiding questions during the video, some students have difficulty retaining this information. The Cornell Notes method seems to be more… »
Cornell Notes
To practice taking Cornell notes, I viewed the TED talk, How much sleep do you really need? Note taking is an important skill! I agree with the suggestions to include spaces between ideas and incorporate abbreviations, which the note-taker can understand. While I may not use this format, there are similarities in the approach I more… »
