Digital Lapbook : Dogs

Here’s my thinking behind setting up this digital lapbook like this:

  • Lapbooks on your knees (made of paper and card etc) are interactive and for the creative and curious.
  • You lift, turn, pull to open out flaps and booklets, so for lapbooks online it seems (to me) to make sense to not just sit there. ♥
  • Hover the cursor. Click the mouse. The new page should open in a new window for you. Some clicks will take you to a new webpage – others to another file – gif, jpg, pdf, doc.
  • Become involved in the activities, read the captions and the linked chapter of a story, and other pages. This lapbook has been ‘master-minded’ by an 8 year old boy, technically assisted by me/Mum.             -jmw

    This is neat, but it seems more like an online unit study, like a research project… I was thinking more of digilapbooking as being something of a “click here” and the STUDENT’s work come up, like in little pop-up windows… not so much links that they’ve found. I probably wouldn’t use this method with my kids because it reminds me of what they did in school, look something up online, and PRINT it and hand it in as if THAT were a project.
    These are neat links though, I will bookmark you just for that! LOL! My daughter wanted to a paper lapbook on dogs, this is a good jumping off point!
    Blessings!

    Thanks for your comments, Michelle and Shannon.

    You can see that this has been an on-going work in progress (and a steep learning curve for me and my 8yo son). The powerpoints have been made and attached to/near the spaniel and collie pictures.

    My boy now needs to put in the content for the basset hound, then we shall “abandon it”.

    My 10yoD is lining up now to try out one on Trees – it may take some time before that one appears while she learns all that’s involved.

    Shalom
