Your students aren’t just doodling. They’re learning!

Doodle Notes™ are built on the science of dual coding: when students process information visually and verbally at the same time, they retain more, connect more, and engage more deeply.
Instead of passively copying notes, they’re:
☑️ Interacting with content visually
☑️ Making meaningful connections
☑️ Organizing ideas in a way that actually sticks
☑️ Showing up more actively in discussion

Doodle Notes™ are woven into many of my Social Studies resources. Explore them at socialstudiessuccess.com/shop!

When students see vocabulary on the walls every day, interact with it, and connect it to images, they actually learn it. That’s a great use of your wall space!

The most ambitious technology we’ve ever pointed at a classroom is about to be the most persuasive, most authoritative, and most autonomous one yet.

It’s especially important for Social Studies teachers to hold firm to what we know: AI is a tool, not a teacher.

How do you feel about using AI in the classroom?

I’d love to hear in the comments. Or comment AIHISTORY to read more thoughts in my full blog post.
