Really?! With paper?!

Many of us have been to workshop after workshop and we gain TONS of information, and get so many wonderful ideas only to forget 99% of them by the time we get back to school.  Research says that if you don't use something in your classroom within 48 hours of learning about it, you most likely never will.  So, when I went to a recent training, I was bound and determined to use as much as I possibly could (this was a great workshop!)  I organized my notes on a fancy little foldable organizer that the facilitator of the training showed us.  This was the beginning of my love for foldable organizers. 

What is a foldable?? It's a piece of paper, that is strategically folded, cut and made into something wonderful.  It's a way to teach children to make and use an organizer.  It's a life long lesson, that once acquired, can be used well into college and beyond.  It's an amazing, well thought out, research based tool, that every teacher should use in his or her classroom. 

While searching for foldable information, I came across this blog wiki.  It's everything you need to know about these wonderful tools.  http://foldables.wikispaces.com/
