* You can add a new page each day to an Instruction & example book

* You can add video or audio instruction with your written instruction.

*regular formative assessments anchor student's learning

* work time is self-paced and flexible for students

* requires more student motivation and time management

Biology Notebook

Students can use a Biology notebook through a unit on Bacteria & Viruses

* draw cell diagrams

* label the cell parts

* compare/contrast diagram

* audio to explain functions of parts

* embed YouTube videos

* upload images of cells

* notetaking pages during mini-lessons

Science

*student product AFTER synchronous teaching
