According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, "Doodling can help people stay focused, grasp new concepts and retain information. Allowing a doodling space can serve as an extended playing field for the brain, allowing people to revise and improve on creative thoughts and ideas." There is lots of brain research showing the benefits of doodling. Simply Google it to read more.

Make copies and put them in a notebook to take to your staff meetings, grade level meetings, and staff development. You can doodle while you listen, BUT you can also take notes.

This pack includes 20 templates.

Each template has a place for the name, date, and topic being studied.

Each of the doodle-it notes pages has a fun background and doodle-like images.

There is a "Doodle It" circle and a large white space for other doodles or note-taking.

You can pick the doodle-it note page you want to give students. You could also keep a huge stack on hand of all 20 templates, and then let your students pick the template they want to use.

These note pages have a blank space that can be used for writing and doodling. There is also a specific doodling space, but students shouldn't be limited to only doodle in that space. It's up to you though as to how you want your students to use them.
