LiveBinders

I'm starting to fall in love with LiveBinders!  Three-ring binders were my best friend... but you can only three-hole punch and clip and snap so often.  Now there is the perfect alternative... LIVEBINDERS!

LiveBinders replaces your old and dusty 3 ring binder for a new online storage device to organize anything and everything!

  • ePortfolios (students add collections of work to showcase in their binder)
  • Substitute Packages (create a binder for your substitute to access... everything is located in one place!)
  • Parent Packages (binder full of resources for parents to access)
Currently, I have two LiveBinders in the creation phase.  The first binder I created is for my fourth graders and their parents.  It's a collection of resources (websites, videos, and documents) that will assist them in their learning.  I've enjoyed using the LiveBinderIt tool (so easy!!) to add websites and other resources for my fourth grade students!

Eventually, I'd like to share my teacher evaluation binder.  This binder will be a collection of all my teacher evaluation documents and evidence!

  4. I am definitely going to have to put all my favorites into binders for each subject. I think it will make for easier lesson planning and classroom use.

    I may have to make one for parents as well to add to my Google Site. That's a good idea!

    1. Thank you, Taryn! I had to mess with the embed code a bit to make the Voki look nice on the LiveBinder. Glad it turned out!

  6. Wow! I really like how you used Voki and LiveBinder together. I never would have thought to do that and now I will likely steal the idea.
    I agree that LiveBinders are great. I too am falling in love!

  8. I enjoyed scoping out your resource blog. It is full of so many useful links! What a great tool and central location for all your parents and students to access. I think a major plus to having all these great links in one spot is that it may increase skill practice at home... we can have hope, right?!

    I wish you luck with the evaluation process - I think this will be a great place to organize all that evidence!
