Internet use strengthens literacy in students according to this study. In fact sometimes test scores improves in certain cases, not across the board.
I just love interactive notebooks period! I think they are good for all subject areas. It is a way of keeping the students responsible for their learning and also is a good study tool.
It has definitely made a big difference with my students. I am excited to do more research about schools that have implimented the use of interactive notebook campus wide.
I was interested to read this article about interactive notebooks. We do science notebooking in our school. I try to modify it to a lifeskills level. I like the idea of vocabulary briefcase. I also like the comment about teachers should only write in blue or black ink. I think that it is important that the students doesn't think it is being "graded" that way they aren't afraid to share ideas.
My school is a large advocate of interactive notebooks. I like them alot for math it makes students have to show ownership for their notes. From this article I enjoyed reading about the vocabulary brief case. I think I will try to modify that idea for math. :)
