Episode 36 of The Art of Teaching Business podcast!

Are you looking for a way to get students off their screens and back to using pen and paper? In this episode, I’m sharing some of the tips I learned from using interactive notebooks in my own business classroom for years. I’ll talk about how I organized notebooks, handled supplies, used bell ringers, kept teacher copies handy, and why my students’ notebooks never left my classroom. I’ll also share a few simple tricks—like attaching a pen, color coding classes, and doing all the cutting at once—that can make interactive notebooks much easier to manage all year long.

I sell no prep, ready-to-print-and-use, interactive notebook on my webshop and TPT.
