Doodling is good, and Sunni Brown wants us to believe it! She defines, “doodling is to make spontaneous marks to help yourself think”, which is obviously a good thing during those times when there’s an abundance of information. Visualization through drawing is a characteristic that we are very good at during childhood, however it somehow became negative when we reached adulthood. We have to wonder why it is such a maligned action, when it is responsible for leading to some amazing creations. And because it utilizes all of the ways that we intake knowledge (visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetics), while also adding emotions to the learning process, it has increased probabilities of actual information retention (29% more according to Sunni). And in closing, doodling allows us to understand the creative process a little better, and give those creative types their props! What they do is inspiring, and adds beauty and imagination to our world! What’s not to like? Hear more in her Ted Talk.
I also saw a comment that forwarded a link by Vihart that you have to watch. This is a way to inspire a desire to learn mathematics!
