Talk:The Quest for the Perfect Notetaking Medium

Interesting that your method of note taking is dependent upon the delivery format of the course and/or instructor. Hard to work electronically when others do not. It is what I have surmised as well. In education, we still have one foot in the paper age & one foot in the digital age. It is a totally new way of thinking for many and this change does not come about easily. So....we are still in the business of teaching others, or exposing others, to ways of working electronically. It is in our best interest to help others along this path as we will all benefit in the end...........and you will be able to have one method for taking notes! --The preceding was a comment by my school's director of technology

I always had different ways of taking notes for each class (at least different ways of writing on paper). In American Students, I did the Headline method; in psychology I wrote on provided PowerPoints. In PreCalc, I just wrote stuff down. But I don't want to just use the computer for the point of using the computer. I want to find something that will work for me. I am now a week through 12th Grade and I am using the computer all day. I will post more about my experiences with that later.--ThePlaz 18:25, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
