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.
These templates require the Smart Notebook software, Kidspiration. Inspiration,Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer
and KidPix to use. Most have a preview for you to decide if it is something you would like. I would suggest creating folders on your desktop called SmartNoteBookTemplates, InspirationTemplates, and KidspirationTemplates. You can then save the templates in the appropriate folder for later use.
HSSageMath.org is a website designed for High School and Middle School level students and educators. We hope to use this wiki and Sage notebook server to share helpful Sage tools and information with the world.
An easy to create activity for use with a smartboard. I like the Guess the Wordle of the Day concept, I like that students try to guess based on contextual clues, and I like that it uses the Smartboard (although it's a relatively low level usage, it's still interactive.)

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
A slideshow from the book Field Notes on Science and Nature. I great example of some of the kinds of writing that scientists do. Great examples and a great place to have students to start making observations of their own about the things they see in the world around them. Students need to be allowed to make these same kinds of observations if we want to develop their interest and passion for math and science.
Springnote allows you to create pages, to work on them together with your friends, and to share files. Springnote is also a great tool for group projects as it allows group members to easily collaborate. Advanced search, numerous templates, and 2GB of FREE File Storage are only few examples of how Springnote can help you. Of course, you already know that Springnote is an Internet service, meaning you can access it from anywhere anytime.
