Note-taking and Reflections - What is the difference?

Notes Vs Reflections

Recording your thoughts and spreading your insights are unique tasks, each with its intentions and outcomes.

Note-taking: - Involves recording information, ideas, or insights from a lesson, lecture, or reading.

• Focuses on capturing facts, concepts, and details.
• Helps with memory retention, review, and reference.
• Often done individually.

Sharing reflections: - Involves sharing thoughts, opinions, or insights about what has been learned.

• Focuses on making connections, analysing, and evaluating information.
• Encourages critical thinking, synthesis, and application.
• Often done collaboratively or publicly, such as in a discussion or blog post.

While note-taking is primarily about capturing information, sharing reflections is about processing, interpreting, and sharing perspectives.
