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 resolution kit for printing.
You can get lower resolution images using Google image search.
Scrapbook to Learn Step-by-Step
- Read a book or passage on the topic.
- Optional but fun: Watch a Youtube video on the topic.
- Brainstorm a list of facts to record. My boys really learn on this step.
- Allow students browse your scrapbook stash (hundreds of free kits are available)
- Research the Internet for images with Google image search.
- Chose a template. (Templates save hours! See free templates here.)
- Created the scrapbook page (Mom can teach how to use the software as children choose papers and elements until they can do it on their own).
