Guided Notes

WHY GUIDED NOTES?

The Guided Notes on Edgenuity help students to stay actively engaged during video lectures. Additionally, the benefits of Guided Notes include:

  • reduce the cognitive load caused by trying to listen and take notes at the same time
  • help students retain information by staying actively engaged during lectures
  • make it easier for students to distinguish important information
  • lead to more comprehensive and complete notes
  • can help improve assessment performance
