Excellent example of using indicator words to generate main ideas

Remember, our note taking is designed to help us generate main ideas so we can fill in our skeleton

From "Internet is it changing the way we think"

  1.  In one sense,  This is telling us that training our brain is also important for stimulation
  2. But      This is telling us that exercising your brain through the internet seems like work when its actually not as much work as exercising your brain through reading.
  3. It Often       So sometimes its beneficial for our brains to use the internet and sometimes its not
  4. If        Students can't understand something from a book essay then they revert to Google, which makes their brains lazy
  5. But      It's always the most popular answer that comes up making the search engine not necessarily accurate
  6. But     We can easily acquire information from the internet but that's not the same as knowing  something
  7. But     The internet provides tons of in info but it lets everyone have access to it, unlike books.
