Most of what we know of Socrates came from his students.   Why is that?  
Why did Jesus write none of the gospels?   Fact is most gospels were
written after the fact.  I would like to think that Jesus had way too much
going on it write the gospels, and the disciples probably had a busy time
while the three year ministry was going on, but had time to reflect on it
later.

Add to that many in the early church wanted to know more about Christ, so
that was even more inspiration to get the written accounts down while they
could.

Doodling pictures?   We are given the impression Jesus wrote something,
potentially names.  No one really knows what was written, but apparently
that got the point across whatever he scribed in that sand.   If not
literate (and I believe He was) there was at least great skill in
communicating with man.
