INTERACTIVENOTEBOOKS

WHAT DOES IT DO FOR ME?• The interactive notebook serves you as a library, a

laboratory, and a journal.

–Like a library, it serves as a storehouse of accumulated knowledge;

–Like a laboratory, it serves as a means to pose meaningful, authentic questions and to seek their answers;

–Like a journal, it serves as a medium for personalizing knowledge and for reflection and as a means to foster intellectual and social growth.

In short, the interactive notebook serves as a means to become the best active and independent thinker and learner you can be.
