Why should I make my classroom interactive?

• Students enjoy more hands on activities

• Students receive their “art” time by allowing them to cut, color and decorate their notebooks.

• It is easier to disguise harder material by putting it in a different format.

• Students do most of the work.• No extra planning once systems are

in place.
