Interactive Notebook in Canvas from Eduprotocols
Rating
0.0 stars

This is a free student interactive notebook that sparks excitement, and takes learning to a new level.

This is a digital template you can use in Canva.

You'll have to provide your name and email to download the notebook, but you can unsubscribe at any time.

From Ditch That Textbook
"Interactive notebooks have taken lots of classrooms everywhere by storm. The idea: a central space where students can create, write and make meaning.

When they’re done well, students get that spark of excitement. Learning goes to a different level.

When they’re done poorly, it becomes worksheets glued to pages.

Interactive notebooks don’t have to go in paper notebooks, though.

This is why we've partnered with Matt Miller and Ditch that Textbook to give you a digital interactive notebook made in Canva that incorporates EduProtocols. It's a win-win!"
