Digital Interactive Notebooks

Digital Interactive Notebooks are quickly taking over the world. (Que Evil Laugh) Mahahahahaha. This blog post will teach you the basics of digital interactive notebooks and help you navigate your way into a technology filled learning experience. Get started using digital interactive notebooks in your classroom today and keep reading for a sneak peek into the world of digital interactive notebooks.

1. How to get started with using Digital Interactive Notebooks.

2. Engage your students with Digital Interactive Notebooks.

3. What research says about Digital Interactive Notebooks.

4. Increase student achievement.

5. Make students feel like they aren't even learning.

6. Be the coolest teacher in the school. (Guaranteed!)

Researching digital interactive notebooks in the classroom is step 1. Luckily, I'm a research nerd and have done all of the hard work for you! Aren't you excited? To put it simply, digital interactive notebooks are taking what you already do in the classroom, and engaging students even more by using technology to lead the way. Remember, these are the basics.

Go Google. That's right! It's important that you understand how Google Drive works and how to make it relevant to your classroom. Is this the only way you can use digital interactive notebooks in your classroom? Certainly not.

Breathe. You shouldn't magically understand this stuff unless you are tech obsessed. Be open minded and know that you will have to download apps to make this work effectively. Are you breathing?

Practice. Like anything else, it takes practice to make something work. You need to practice, practice, practice. I hate the saying practice makes perfect, so I usually say practice makes permanent.

Up until now, when students are reading a text, they usually use worksheets, foldables, or interactive assignments on the active board to really analyze the content. This is where digital interactive notebooks come into play. Students will still answer all of the questions that relate to common core, but will do it in a way that is interesting and fun to them. Some naysayers may say, but they are missing real world connections or they are not creating meaningful learning. I think that this couldn't be farther from the truth. Technology is the world we live in. Technology has changed my life and is the biggest part of my job as a teacher. I'd love to invite you into my classroom and watch the digital experience. It's impossible to leave and say that students weren't engaged. Okay, off soapbox.

What will you need?

Powerpoint or Keynote

Google Drive or Ebackpack

Various Apps (Chatterpix, Kidrex, Google Drive (particularly slides)

Where can I find these?

This tutorial is not a tutorial on how to create digital interactive notebooks, but rather how to use them. Many sellers from the love of my life, I mean Teachers Pay Teachers, are already jumping on this train quickly You can find one of my products here. I will be converting all of my interactive notebook foldables to digital in the months to come. I want them to be great quality, so this will take some time, but don't give up on me. If you have one lesson in particular you'd like to see quickly, just email me.

With digital interactive notebooks you can move pieces with ease and push information out to your students through Google Classroom. Need help understanding how Google Classroom works? Check out this flip book for help with it for your faculty and staff. My students are currently 1:1 and love being engaged with learning in this way. It will take time and practice to really get your students focused on going digital, but once you do - you'll be so glad you did.

Think Digital

Forget the world and classroom we know of. Imagine a room with no paper, no pencils, and all excitement. Those classrooms exist. If you aren't ready to go 100% digital, it's okay. Baby steps. Once you get your mind on connecting the pieces digitally it will all fall into place. I get to present all over the United States on digital technology and when I begin my presentation I always start with this simple quote :

"Technology is the future, it is now, and it is this generation - get with it." That may seem a little blunt or straightforward, and it should be. It's the truth. Our students live and thrive for technology, so its time we jumped on the train with them.

Understand Research on Digital Interactive Notebooks

I am a self proclaimed research nerd. I find it fascinating to read and learn about what scientist or just people in general have learned from random studies. Did you know science proves that students learn better and are more engaged when using technology? Students who were testing using technology performed better on standardized test that students with regular paper and pencil? I've seen the results in my classroom as well. I'm saying this in the kindest and non boisterous way possible - my students out perform most students in their grade level every year and I know that a lot of it is due to the challenging environment I create for them using technology. Of course a lot of that has to also do with relationships, but technology is another factor.

What's the best part of this digital interactive notebook world? You can use your reading interactive notebooks completely. You can throw out the glue, tape, coloring, and all the other stuff that truly scares teachers in the first place. Throw it out yall! (In my super southern accent)If you have purchased an interactive notebook and just want it to compliment that, this is perfect as well. Be on the look out for all of these interactive notebook pieces to be available digitally in the coming weeks. While you're waiting, you can purchase my first point of view digital foldable here.

I think knowing that the power of writing with a digital interactive notebook is limitless. Teaching proper technique with typing and writing can really improve students creativity and allow them to focus on the big picture. Some of my inclusion students have confessed they don't fear writing as much as they used to because now they know they can just quickly backspace their mistakes instead of having red lines and eraser marks all over them. Using writing interactive notebooks digitally is going to take over the world. Who's ready?

Closing

Ultimately using a new technique or style in your classroom is your decision. My goal is to only open your eyes to what is the next upcoming thing. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me or leave them in the comment section down below. Be on the lookout for a YouTube video all about digitalness soon. Much love guys.

It's no real secret that I love Digital Interactive Notebooks. I create them every chance I get and encourage teachers to use them for everything from long term Project Based Learning (PBL) projects to weekly unit work with Post appeared also on FtEdTech
vocabulary.

The Interactive Notebook (INB) has long been a staple of the classroom to engage students more directly with their notes. The traditional interactive notebook often includes traditional student notes, questions, and interactives that students cut, fold, color and paste into their notebooks. You might find graphic organizers, pockets with measuring tools, data charts, and foldables that act as study aides. In the NSTA article " Science Interactive Notebooks in the Classroom" Jocelyn Young explains the benefits of INB when she shares that "By using notebooks, students model one of the most vital and enduring functions of scientists in all disciplines-recording information, figures, and data. A second reason for maintaining a science interactive notebook is that it provides a ready reference for each unit, as well as a resource to consult for review".

The downfall of these notebooks is the time that it often takes to cut out the interactives and of course all the glue: it doesn't take much spill over around a corner to permanently stick an important page to the one in front of it. This is where the Digital Interactive Notebook (DINB) comes into play. With a little creativity, you can still accomplish many of the same learning goals digitally.

Getting Started: Slides vs PowerPoint

DINB work best in either Google Slides or PowerPoint because students can use the slide sorter pane on the left to quickly maneuver through the notebook. The choice of Google Slides vs PowerPoint largely depends on the device. If using an iPad, the PowerPoint app proves to be a much more robust choice since students have the opportunity to use draw features and easily add images, video and add-ins that include quizzes. If using a computer, Slides is a more natural choice because the Explore feature opens up tools that allow for easier formatting, and you can insert photos directly from image searches and embed YouTube videos easily.

Getting Started: Slide Size

The next thing you'll want to consider is the layot of your notebook. Both Slides and PowerPoint obviously use a default horizontal layout, but you can customize that to mimic a more traditional notebook page if you choose. If working on an iPad, the horizontal view often feels more natural to work with, but it also depends on the content and the types of organizers or activities you want students to do.

PowerPoint
To set a custom size in PowerPoint go to:

Design Tab

Slide Size

Page Set Up

Enter the desired size

Press OK

Choose Scale Up

Once you have selected your application and size, you're ready to begin. You can make your notebook very simple and use text boxes, shapes, and design layouts to create graphic organizers, as well as space for notes and directions for adding things like drawings and collages.

It helps to look through examples of notebooks to get some ideas for what you might create. Here are a few basic examples I have created. I have found that once I have the basic organizer created I can copy and paste that into many different notebooks.

Tips and Tricks

One thing that I prefer to do is to create graphic organizers and templates in Canva and use those images that I download as the background on my slides.

The bonus of using images is that I can upload them to Google or use them in PowerPoint, they can also be distributed to students on their iPads for applications like Seesaw or Draw and Tell. Using an image as the background, also reduces the likelihood that a student will accidentally delete an element of page that they need.
When designing in Canva, I most often pick the Presentation 16:9 template. I find that it is a perfect fit in Slides or PowerPoint when I insert it as a background. If you're stuck for inspiration, check out the templates offered by Canva. I can almost always find something to inspire me and simplify my work there.
You can add over 30 slides to a Canva file by pressing the "Add a new page" button.

To download the file, choose JPEG or PNG. This will download your file to your computer as a zip file with all pages saved as an individual image.

You can then share these pages to your tool of choice: PowerPoint, Slides, Seesaw, Draw and Tell or even just as a print out if needed.

Adding Images to your Background

Google Slides
From the menu bar choose:

Background

Image Choose..

Locate the file - upload right there, or upload to your Drive ahead of time

Sharing Files to Students

Once you have your notebook files complete, you're ready to share. If sharing complete digital interactive notebooks, it would be best to use a tool like Schoology or Google Classroom. With Schoology's Google and Microsoft Assignments, you can share documents with students and maintain connection so that you can check in on their work. Check out how to do that here. For Google Classroom users, you would use your Google Drive - you can upload and convert a PowerPoint to Slides if you began your work there. You can also use tools like Seesaw to share page by page for editable lessons.

Additional Tools to Help You Create and Get Inspired

Marzano Strategies - use some of these strategies to inspire activities and graphic organizers to use in your notebooks

Visible Thinking Strategies - Project Zero from Harvard has a number of really good visible thinking strategies that could be used as inspiration for organizers and activities

Canva Colors - if you need help considering a color scheme, this is a great tool that lets you plug in a color and browse for combinations

The Noun Project - Find a ton of vector images to help with visual elements. An educator account is very reasonable, otherwise you can download black vector images with source information

Digital Interactive Notebooks Using Book Creator

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 2 Techie Teachers share their insight into making digital interactive notebooks, which they claim has revolutionised workflow and engagement in their classroom.

If there is one digital tool that's become our go-to this school year, it's been Book Creator. Last summer we were researching ways to incorporate digital interactive notebooks into our literacy blocks. All of our research kept pointing us back to Book Creator!

@iPadTeachers In love with @BookCreatorApp Planning to use it for interactive notebooks this year!

- Tiffany (@MrsCoppleSES) June 30, 2014

Originally we relied upon graphic organizers as our sole source of material for these notebooks, but the ways in which they have evolved has been amazing. With traditional interactive notebooks, students create hands-on pieces that involve a lot of coloring, cutting, and gluing.

The purpose is that their work becomes not only three dimensional in look and feel, but that the learning itself goes deeper. That's exactly what we wanted to achieve with our digital versions. Simply annotating graphic organizers was not enough for us or our students.

As the year has progressed, we began to incorporate more and more into our weekly notebooks. Students often inspired these additions as well as discovery of new apps to utilize. Students are now including photographs, images, etc. from KidRex, recording video of themselves completing fluency tasks, photographing station work, incorporating ChatterKid images, and much more.
This is what a student page may look like before: Any time students can find or take real-time photos, it connects themselves to the text in a meaningful way.
So how do we build these interactive notebooks? How do the students receive them? How do we check their work?

Building the notebook

We choose to build our notebooks from our laptops using Keynote, but whatever you may use ( PowerPoint, Photoshop, etc.) will certainly work!

We build each slide using a variety of graphics that make the page pleasing to the student. Sometimes we choose to go full color, and other times we leave a little more white space for creation. This really depends on the project as well as the time limits we are working with!

Many of our pages are created from scratch at this point, but we also incorporate quality work we may find elsewhere such as Teachers Pay Teachers. Teaching is all about cheating, as they say... if someone has already done it well... why reinvent the wheel?

Each week we incorporate a variety of literacy tasks including, but not limited to:

Fluency (have students read a passage while recording themselves)

Comprehension (graphic organizers that utilize photographs, drawings, text, etc.)

Vocabulary

Text-to-self / world connections

Station work

Once we have built the slides we want to add to their digital notebooks, we export the slides as images.

This is easily done by going to File then Export to... Select Images. This will prompt you to save your images.

In order to begin the next step, you will need to save your image files to a storage system easily accessible on your iPad. We like Google Drive, but you may also like other cloud-based apps like Dropbox.

You will need to open and save these image files to your Camera Roll on your iPad before beginning the next step.

Building the Book Creator book

1. From your iPad, open the Book Creator app and select New Book.

2. We prefer the Landscape format as it seems to fit our Keynote slide images perfectly.

3. From here, creation is easy. On each page, click the + sign and choose camera roll. Select the image you would like the students to work on for each page of their notebook.

4. Resizing is easily accomplished by dragging one corner of the image to fit the screen.

Once you have added all of your images, you are ready to share the book with your students!

Workflow

Tap the "share box" (as we call it - the box with the arrow shooting out of the top) to export.

You should see what you typically use to share, expedite, or "push" files to students. Again, we use eBackpack. Note that iBooks is an option. This is great if you ever want students to publish their work for parents or beyond!

Book Creator will automatically save your creation as an .epub file. Note that size may become an issue if you have loaded your ebook with video files. Sometimes we incorporate learning videos from BrainPop or other sources for students to view.

Students will open the file from your workflow app of choice (Google Drive, eBackpack, etc.) directly into Book Creator. When they have completed their work for the week, they will simply follow the same procedures you did above to send it back to you! We love the ease of checking their work quickly at week's end by flipping through their digital notebooks!

Student creation

We utilize these digital interactive notebooks throughout the literacy block.

Sometimes students add along as we create a class anchor chart (they can even take a photo and annotate with you!), use them during stations (anytime they can record themselves, it's instant engagement), document fluency, and so much more!

As you use them more and more, you will discover new and exciting ways to engage your students in literacy tasks.

We hope that this post has inspired you to take a new look at the possibilities technology can bring to your literacy block through digital interactive notebooks. These have truly revolutionized both the workflow and engagement in our classrooms!

What exactly is an Interactive Digital Notebook? Is it similar to regular Interactive Notebooks? How are they used in the classroom? What are the advantages over traditional interactive notebooks? I hope to answer these questions in PART 1 of my 3 part post on Interactive Digital Notebooks.

What Are They?

Interactive Digital Notebooks are very similar to traditional Interactive Notebooks. They can cover the same content, same skills but the difference is that in a traditional Interactive Notebook, a student would be cutting and glueing parts into a notebook.

In the DIGITAL version, students work in Google Slides to complete a task involving content or a skill. For example, a student might drag and match causes and effects of the American Revolution. Students might also look at a diagram or illustration and be asked to make inferences. In a DIGITAL notebook, those elements can be in COLOR!

So there would be no coloring involved unless the tasked involved drawing, which is another possibility in an Interactive Digital Notebook. Students could also find and insert their own images from the Internet as well!

Here's an example in which I had the students draw the layers of the Earth using Google Draw and insert it into their Interactive Digital Notebook:

In a traditional Interactive Notebook, the student might cut apart pieces to fit together to make the layers of the Earth and glue then into the notebook and label them. Instead of this traditional paper and pencil task, replace it with a digital task that involves creativity and learning to use drawing tools (these are universal tools which will aide the student in the future). If you would like to learn how my students did this with Google Draw, HERE'S a TUTORIAL.

How Are They Used?

You might ask: but how will I incorporate them into my instruction? There are many ways to do this. Since each slide in the Interactive Digital Notebook is separate (just like the pages of a

traditional paper notebook), you set the pace! For example, I might teach a lesson the Earth's rotation and revolution in space. I might have my students turn in place or walk in a circle to demonstrate rotation and revolution. We might construct models of rotation and revolution using materials such as styrofoam balls. Once students have a understanding of the concept of rotation and revolution, I then begin using the Interactive Digital Notebook to expand their learning and cement it in place. I

might have the students watch a video (the link being on the slide) showing how the Earth rotates and revolves in space all the while they are taking notes. I might also have them research the length of the day and year to the precise minute and seconds using a hyperlink also on the slide. With this information, the student then answers questions or writes explanations on the slide to show their understanding of rotation and revolution.

In other words, I didn't spend time having them cut and glue pictures of the Earth rotating or revolving, but instead had the students further research so they became more invested in their learning. In the end, by using the Interactive Digital Notebook, the student has spent more time learning about rotation and revolution than in a traditional notebook. We've all heard the anecdote that when a student has to teach another student about something, the student who is teaching learns even more or becomes even more proficient. With that in mind, once a slide has been completed in the Interactive Digital Notebook, the student can use the slide to make a presentation (just like a PowerPoint!) and teach others. The other students can listen to the presentation and take notes. They can also be utilized for partner work or small group work. More on that in Part 2!

Interactive Digital Notebooks can also be used to assess student learning, especially if you are using Google Classroom. You can assess, score and give feedback all online and digitally! No collecting 25 or more notebooks to look at and score. Just look each Interactive Digital Notebook online in Google Classroom! Send feedback through comments to guide students who go off track or need more challenges.

What Are the Advantages of a Digital Notebook?

So what exactly are the advantages to switching to an Interactive DIGITAL Notebook? There are 3 key points to remember about going digital:

Working in a digital environment means no more worrying if you'll exceed your copy limit at school. Going paperless means that students can make corrections at any time without damaging the file (think about each time a student glues the paper in the wrong place or upside down in a traditional Interactive Notebook). Also, going paperless means you can differentiate slides for students who need more challenge or for students who need more support. Also, no more making copies of print resources that are used in conjunction with the notebook. Instead, just add a link and the student can read it on the screen. Remember, any document that can be scanned, can be turned into a PDF for online access.

Another big advantage is We all know the effect of COLOR on memory and learning. When visuals are in color, we remember and comprehend better. So go ahead and add those amazing Hubble images! Go ahead and beautiful and colorful clip art! It's not going to be printed or copied, so add it to your delight without worrying if you'll use up your entire ink cartridge in your printer! It's also more motivating and exciting for students when materials are in color.

Finally, the MAJOR advantage over traditional Interactive Notebooks is the ability to embed or link to different media. You can add video, animation, hyperlinks, audio and even GIFs. Yes, as a teacher you can certainly show the videos, animations, visit hyperlinks, and listen to audio as a whole class with a teacher at a computer and a projector.

But let's face it, how many students keep up with the video and are able to take notes (something necessary in today's learning environment!)? With the link in their own copy of the Interactive Digital Notebook, students can watch a video at his/her own pace. The student can rewind it, fast forward it or watch it multiple times. The same goes for hyperlinks to content. Students need to be able to explore these links at their own pace and learn to take notes that will then be used to supply needed information in the Interactive Digital Notebook. On another note, this is excellent practice for the SBAC and PARCC which can contain video and audio links the student would need to use to answer questions or complete a task!

Finally, here's another BONUS of the Interactive Digital Notebooks. We all know that students do not finish all assignments at the same time. But with Interactive Digital Notebooks, no worries if the student didn't finish at school because students can access it at HOME and finish any slide for homework! All the student needs is internet access (most public libraries have internet access so there's no excuse!) and their Google account username and password to log on.

Come back soon for Part 2 in which I will . . .

Slides are Interactive

The creation of Interactive Notebooks has become a very popular tool amongst educators. Students are sharing their ability to think independently and creatively while making study tools overflowing with academic information.

Originally the purpose of an interactive notebook was to support students with organizing and understanding the content being presented in a classroom. In a sense creating an interactive notebook is a new way of taking notes for a variety of content areas.

Being a "Tech Nerd" I took the idea of creating an Interactive Notebook to the digital level. This allowed for a group activity to create an interactive digital notebook which could be shared on a website, blog or sent via a link in an Email. Thus making the interactive notebook readily available for any student with an internet connection to practice various skills within a content area.

SAMPLE of a MATH DIGITAL INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK

The above digital interactive notebook was created by using Google Slides. Google slides is a flexible digital tool for creating interactive for supporting lessons. It is also a great tool for unlocking both the critical and creative thinking skills of students in all grade levels.

I fell in love with Interactive Notebooks a few years ago. It didn't take long for me to implement them into every subject. There are so many benefits to these types of notebooks, and I love using them in my classroom. The one downside to these notebooks is the required class time. I quickly realized that we were spending a lot of time cutting, coloring, and gluing the pieces.

While I still love Interactive Notebooks (and will continue to use them in some subjects) I have found a new love: Digital Interactive Notebooks! These notebooks have many of the same benefits, plus they are helping me on my (incredibly slow journey) to having a paperless classroom. In reality, I know my classroom will never really be "paperless," but this is one way to save me class time and some trees in the process!

If you have never created or used a Digital Interactive Notebook, the task can be a little daunting. I have created a video to help guide you through the process!

Want to jump ahead? Here are the times in the video where I discuss the steps:

Step 1: Decide on Your Journal Pages (0:22)

Step 2: Edit the Non-Movable Parts (3:04)

Step 3: Move to Google Slides (6:12)

Step 4: Create Editable Parts (9:30)

Step 5: Give to Your Students (10:38)

Interested in getting the templates? I have a sample packet that includes 3 FREE pages, so you can decide if Digital Interactive Notebooking is for you. Then I also have different products with over 300 different templates! Click on the pictures:

Easily create and share online forms and surveys, and analyze responses in real-time.

Create an online form as easily as creating a document

Select from multiple question types, drag-and-drop to reorder questions, and customize values as easily as pasting a list.

Send polished surveys and forms

Customize colors, images, and fonts to adjust the look and feel or reflect your organization's branding. And add custom logic that shows questions based on answers, for a more seamless experience.

Analyze responses with automatic summaries

See charts with response data update in real-time. Or open the raw data with Google Sheets for deeper analysis or automation.

Create and respond to surveys from anywhere

Access, create, and edit forms on-the-go, from screens big and small. Others can respond to your survey from wherever they are-from any mobile device, tablet, or computer.

Build forms and analyze results together

Add collaborators-just like with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides-to build questions together in real-time. Then analyze results together without having to share multiple versions of the file.

Work with clean response data

Use built-in intelligence to set response validation rules. For example, ensure that email addresses are properly formatted or that numbers fall within a specified range.

Share forms via email, link, or website

It's easy to share forms with specific people or with a broad audience by embedding forms on your website or sharing the links on social media.

Security, compliance, and privacy

Secure by default

We use industry-leading security measures to keep your data safe, including advanced malware protections. Forms is also cloud-native, eliminating the need for local files and minimizing risk to your devices.

Encryption in transit and at rest

All files uploaded to Google Drive or created in Forms are encrypted in transit and at rest.

Compliance to support regulatory requirements

Our products, including Forms, regularly undergo independent verification of their security, privacy, and compliance controls.

Private by design

Forms adheres to the same robust privacy commitments and data protections as the rest of Google Cloud's enterprise services.

You control your data.

We never use your Forms content for ad purposes.

We never sell your personal information to third parties.
