THEN: Before computers, we used interactive notebooks to engage our students and keep their notebooks organized and accessible. This, however, required a lot of material and the unwelcome task of lugging them all home with you to mark. But we used them because they were effective and allowed us to effectively assess our students’ understanding.

NOW: Why use digital interactive notebooks? As prices decrease, many schools are moving towards a 1:1, computer-student ratio and are becoming digital. The way we teach needs to keep up. You don’t even need a class set of computers; a personal device (cell phone, laptop, tablet, etc.) will work just as well.

Digital interactive notebooks provide all the same means of organization and assessment but without the physical notebook. This…
1) Saves you from bringing them back and forth/storing them in your class.
2) Purchasing all the necessary supplies.
3) Having them get lost, misplace pages, etc.

Once you purchase, you’ll get a direct link. This link will allow you to place your own copy of the digital notebook into your Google Drive folder. From there, simply distribute the file to your students. No notebooks, no glue, no scissors, not even a USB in sight. Everything is stored and can be accessed in the cloud from any computer in the world. If your students go on holiday, they can access it. If they’re sick, they can access it.

What if my school won’t pay for Google products or access to Google Classroom? No problem. G-Suite, as it’s called, is completely free and includes everything you’ll need to access your digital notebooks.

What if your students don’t have internet access for some reason? These notebooks can easily be made available off-line for access anywhere.

Left-side/Right-side. Is there a place for students to include their own notes? Yes! That’s the beauty of going digital. You don’t need a left and right side. When you or your students want some more room, just add a slide and go to town.

Worried about plagiarism? I use turnitin.com to ensure my students are submitting their own work. However, I attempt to make these as interactive and individual as possible, which all but eliminates cheating.

Do you feel that your students will miss out on the hands-on experience they receive from traditional interactive notebooks? In today’s world, I don’t think that’s a concern. Your students are and need to be well versed in the world of technology and how to manipulate it to suit their needs. This resource will help.
