This digital Google Slides resource provides editable Interactive Notebook Templates that you can create for your students. It is designed to be used for ALL grade levels and subjects. It contains Page Tabs, Table of Contents Template, Vocabulary Template, Timeline Template, Graphic Organizers, and more!
I created the videos below to address some of my most frequently asked questions.
1. How to Use / Edit the Clickable Tabs & Table of Contents
The tabs in the interactive notebook are a helpful tool for labeling slides and for quickly jumping to a slide in the notebook. ***Please note that the tabs are now designed to be used in presentation mode! An additional two-sided interactive notebook template is also available.
2. How to Change Backgrounds for Each Slide
You can always change out the background if you’d like something a little different! Here’s a quick way to do that.
3. How to Use Timeline Page and the Grouping Tool
Do you know how to group items together in Google Slides? This trick is so useful when you have movable pieces in your interactive notebook!

HI, Thank you for doing this.. I am wondering if I am able to share this notebook with my students.. should i pick a copy for each student in google classroom or send individually via email? How am I supposed to check thier work? I want to make sure before i send it out to my students. There is no instructions or i overlooked.
How do you assign these to students and allow them to move,draw, type, etc.? I have created one but cannot figure out how to easily give students access to a personal journal..
