Faster than a Lapbook, More Fun than a Book Report!
What’s faster than a lapbook, more fun than a book report, makes for super review and teaches computer skills while documenting learning? Digital Scrapbooking!
We had fun making this Ben Franklin page this morning. More and more of our school time is watching documentaries then scrapbooking. Boys love it.
The papers and most the images are from Energy and Electricity Digital Scrapbook Kit ($2.50). Its a high resolutionkit for printing.
You can get lower resolution images using Google image search. They don’t look great when printing but great for online projects.
