Instead of your child creating their school work in a notebook or lapbook, they will be using the computer.  They will type out their reports on the word processor adding pictures or clip art where they like to make the eNotebook their own (just like in notebooking).

I make the girls write out their reports first.  This way they get handwriting practice and there is NO spell check available to them .  This will also help them with their typing skills.

I let the girls use their own pictures they take with our camera, computer and internet graphics they find as well.  I also will scan in their own drawings to be put into the eNotebook.  If I print out the eNotebook, I will bind it or hole punch it and place in a binder.  If I print out the eNotebook I will leave blank pages so they can add their own drawings as well as some handwritten work.

The great thing about eNotebooking you can make the creation how you like.  ALL computerized or half computer half hand made.

I'm working on an ebook "A Beginner's Guide to eNotebooking" with step by step instructions and illustrations so you can see how I set things up for our school on the computer.  I will let you know when I have finished it and give you a link to download it as well.

Blessings,
