FAQ: Joining the Doodle Note Club

Posted on by admin

If you’re on the fence about joining Doodle Note Club, this post will help you decide what’s right for you.  Some people get confused about what is included and what is not included, so I’m breaking it down for you!

 

If you’re new to the whole doodle notes concept, you’re going to want to check out doodlenotes.org first.

 

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions about joining the club:

 

Do I get free access to your products on TpT if I purchase a Doodle Note Club membership?

 

No, the club is separate. It is for all subject areas and all grade levels (not just math teachers!) and focuses on creating your own Doodle Notes for your class of students. The pre-made math specific sets on the Math Giraffe Teachers Pay Teachers store are not part of the club membership.  The goal is to keep this membership price nice and low for all teachers, no matter what subject or grade level you teach!  And it’s packed with so much value that is generic as far as lesson content.

 

To read more about joining the club, go here.

The club offers tons of templates and additional graphics made by Sarah Pecorino.  Doodle Note templates give you a jumpstart on creating your own doodle notes. They can be used for any topic, subject, or lesson.

 

You just edit the text boxes to fit your lesson material, add your own extra text boxes as needed, and / or delete some to customize your blend of teacher input and space for student input!  Insert your content, topics, and subtopics to customize each template to fit one or more of your own lessons.

 

If you’re interested in just templates for creating your own doodle notes (without joining the club), check out these templates set or this Editable Doodle Note Templates BUNDLE!  It could be more cost-effective if you feel confident enough to create your own doodle note sets.  These templates, as well as some graphic organizers and non-subject-specific vocabulary doodle cards are the materials that ARE in both the TpT shop and the club membership.

 

What does a Doodle Note Club membership include?

 

Members get access to the Learning Zone where I put together Video training to make your very own doodle notes with your new materials.

 

You’ll have access to the Resource Zone, which is full of hundreds of templates, graphics and clipart files to get you started quickly.

 

Members get access to all doodle note stickers (which you can print on sticker paper for students to make their own visual notes in their regular notebooks) and templates (for you to easily build your own lesson pages for them). These can be used in any subject area.

 

Members also have access to my deck of 100 bite-sized Doodle Notes Graphic Organizer Cards and the visual vocabulary template pack.

 

Members get access to the Share Zone.  This zone has pages that other members have created and shared; it is always growing. So, you can share your doodle note creations with other teachers of the same subject, or, if you don’t feel like making a set for a certain lesson, browse the share zone to see if someone else already created one!

 

Can I sell what I create?

 

No, the club materials are all just for classroom use.  The terms of use on the clipart from our graphic designer and the templates, etc. do not allow for commercial use.  The term “doodle notes” is a brand name protected by trademark law, and cannot be used to sell without permission, and the resources are all protected by copyright law as well. 

 

If I join the club and realize it is not for me, can I get a refund?

 

Yes, I can offer you a refund if you want to check it out and then let me know in the next couple days what you think 🙂 You can just email me at brigid@mathgiraffe.com if you decide you want a refund within 3 days of purchasing after taking a look around.

 

Is there a free trial option so I can try out the site?

 

Right now this is not an option, but you can email brigid@mathgiraffe.com if you have any further questions about joining. I’m happy to help figure out what might work best for you as you start your doodle note adventures!
