Cornell Notes Gutenberg Block
Create perfect study notes with the Cornell Notes Gutenberg Block.
Cornell Notes provides an excellent structure for organising and summarized your notes, ideas and concepts – this logical approach is an invaluable way to help learning and retention for students of all ages.
This plugin provides a new, dedicated Cornell Notes Gutenberg block to enable you to quickly and easily take your notes within WordPress.
How to Use Cornell Notes
- Add your title at the top of your note – this is a summary of context of the notes.
- Take long-form notes in the right-hand column – you can take notes during a class, lecture, video tutorial or WordCamp Talk, it doesn’t matter. Add as many ideas as you need – click the ‘Add Idea’ indicator to add a new idea.
- Once you’ve finished your notes, review them and summarise the concepts with key ideas in the left-hand column.
- Finally, summarize all the notes in a sentence or two at the bottom of the page.
- To fully benefit from Cornell Notes, you should consider adding Spaced Repetition to your learning plan.
Cornell Notes contains a second block – an Idea block – this block is only made available as a child of the Cornell Note block – and enables you to add as many ideas (key ideas and long-form notes) you require.
There are currently no specific settings required by the Cornell Notes Block.
