Although there is a lot of technology that you can take to the classroom, like a pen or pencil, back to school notebooks are always handy to have in class. These notebooks range from artistic ones to books that are hyper-tailored towards a particular subject or hobby.
Rather than rejecting technology altogether, some of these notebooks are designed to work alongside smartphones and laptops, making it easy for tech-savvy students to feel comfortable taking notes in whatever way works best for them. Playing off this idea, there are even some notebooks that have slanted lines or other unique spaces for writing, doodling or jotting down points, instead of the straight rigid or grid lines that some people find to be too restrictive.
