Not all students are using them optimally, but I believe many are benefiting whether they articulate it or not. The notebooks have helped students organize their thoughts, solidify understanding and prepare for unit assessments. Some don't appreciate them, although they would prefer it over taking traditional notes.

And a good reminder of why YOU are the teacher and THEY are the students. <br /><br />I have had many students whine like this about INBs this year. But a few weeks later, when I challenged them about how disorganized they are, they have responded as strong defenders of the INB experience.<br /><br />Students at this stage don't yet KNOW what they don't know. A big part of what they don't have yet is flexibility in note-taking and in note-keeping. <br /><br />They're still not all excited or grateful, but they ARE a lot more organized.<br /><br />Stay strong! They will thank you for it later!<br /><br />- Elizabeth (@cheesemonkeysf)cheesemonkeysfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311170815422010013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879500389925643679.post-8638295850753540212013-10-20T11:13:30.492-04:002013-10-20T11:13:30.492-04:00I've also been trying to focus on the positive...I've also been trying to focus on the positive lately because I've been feeling exhausted. Sometimes that one student's comment is what I need to feel like what I'm doing is worthwhile. Hopefully with more time your students will see how useful their INBs can be.

Shine a light on those advantages. Push on through!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
