See attached
Infobar. Enter your name, the date, subject, and page number (if needed).
Notes Area. Use this area to take your notes.
Nutshell. This box is for writing a summary, the very condensed ideas, significant
implications, or the single, most important idea you want to remember when you return to
these notes.
Metadata. Use this area to record bibliographic source information. You can also include
the length of the presentation.
Sandbox. The sandbox can be used for lecture or presentation related material, such as a
graph, chart, diagram, mnemonic, contact information, and so forth. Second, it can be
used for doodling and scribbling. A third and most important use of the sandbox is to free
up your working memory so that you can concentrate on the presentation, reading, or
whatever.
Questions, Reactions, See Also, So What? Action Items, Takeaways. This panel is
used for actively responding to the notes taken and the presentation or reading as a
whole.
