If you've used Word templates, you should be able to adapt ones like mine. Al, I’ll send you a reply via your email. If you’ve used Word templates, you should be able to adapt ones like mine.

Are you willing to share those? I am sorely in need of a better note taking system. Too much to remember and I hate Outlook Notes. I am checking out Evernote but having some difficulty getting it working. thanks Al Bejcek Dave,

I found a PDF of Marzano's somewhat daunting (i.e., 172-page) study (<a href="http://www.mcrel.org/pdf/instruction/5982rr_instructionmeta_analysis.pdf" rel="nofollow">A Theory-Based Meta-Analysis of Research on Instruction</a>). (The note-taking and graphic-representation summary is on page 91 of the original article, which is page 96 in the PDF.) For anyone interested, <a href="http://www.marzanoresearch.com" rel="nofollow">Marzano Research Laboratory</a> seeks to identify quality educational research and build tools to translate that research into applications that educators can use. I wish I'd made a note to talk about mind-mapping and similar graphic techniques. At the very least I should have mentioned <a href="http://www.thinkingspace.net/" rel="nofollow">Thinking Space</a>, a mind-map applicaition I have on my Android phone. Thanks, Don.

Taking notes has an overall effect size of .99, indicating a percentile gain of 34 points. Note taking is when students generate personal linguistic representations of the information being presented. 2. However, the learning technique with the largest effect size is graphic representations (mind maps). This technique produced a percentile gain in achievement of 39 points. One of the most effective of these techniques was semantic mapping (Toms-Bronosky, 1980) with an effect size of 1.48 (n=1), indicating a percentile gain of 43 points. With this technique, the learner represents the key ideas in a lesson as nodes (circles) with spokes depicting key details emanating from the node.
