I just finished my first full year with interactive notebooks in my history classes. It was an experience! After a year, I feel comfortable saying YEAH for interactive notebooks mostly because my students reflected how much they liked using them. I first got interested in INBs (as they are often called) because while I love using hands-on activities and project-based learning, I found that students needed more structure for organizing and analyzing information. Basically, students benefit from having a place to organize, draw, write and analyze ideas and information.
