PRINTABLE VS DIGITAL INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS

The digital interactive notebook covers the same material as my printable interactive notebook for that same unit. The input notes are identical (but editable in the digital notebook), INB activities require students to apply the same skills and quizzes assess the same ideas. However, the interactive notebook activities are modified and optimized so to work in a digital setting.

Can I print digital interactive notebooks?

Digital notebooks are NOT optimized for printing. The notebook pages are sized for tabloid paper (11 x 17). However, pages are not designed for printing and INB activities are not designed to be completed with paper and pen. Use traditional interactive notebooks for interactive notebook activities that require physical manipulation.
