Description of the history alive version of the ISN. they use right hand side for notes and left hand side for output/interactions/reflection

Nice resource for ISNs implementation. I like her powerpoint presentation. Nice, simple explanation. Good resource to go to, to get started. No explicit math connections

Mr. Greer's ISN page. Nice example of how to set it up for kids. I really like these two boxes on the page: Why use an interactive notebook? 1. Students use both their visual and linguistic intelligences 2. Note-taking becomes an active process 3. Notebooks help students to systematically organize as they learn 4. Notebooks become a portfolio of individual learning Personal Response Instructions 1. Summarize the new information you have learned from the activity/presentation 2. Relate or connect this new learning to what you previously knew about the topic 3. Tell how you feel about what you have learned. At least 3 paragraphs are needed to meet the expectations for this assignment.

Using this article with a middle school teacher in the development of interactive student notebooks. We are using this article to help set the tone that her students can be mathematicians, to change their understanding of what a mathematician is, etc. Any other examples that you may have and are willing to share would be appreciated.
