I have included a website with reviews and examples, a how-to video, some frequently asked questions, helpful tips, and examples of how LiveBinder can be used by teachers and students.]]> 2017-03-19 18:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161011971 arhanks https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161012666 https://www.commonsense.org/education/website/livebinders

This website is wonderful!  It has reviews of LiveBinder from teachers.  There are also links to LiveBinders that show how educators around the world are using them in their classrooms.  There are also lesson plans created by teachers for LiveBinder activities.  The site also offers alternatives to Liveinder in case the site is blocked by your school district.]]> 2017-03-19 18:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161012666 arhanks https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161012977 This video is an introduction to Live
binder.  It shows you how to get started with creating your own Binder. This YouTube video is from the LiveBinder channel, which has many other helpful videos on how to use LiveBinder.]]> 2017-03-19 18:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161012977 arhanks https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161013485 The simple answer is everything! Any type of digital document can be added to a LiveBinder, that includes videos, web sites, scanned documents, PDFs, Google Documents, and word processing documents.]]> 2017-03-19 18:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161013485 arhanks https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161013760 Why yes, yes you can. When a LiveBinder is created, you can chose to make it Public. A Public binder can be viewed by anyone. This screenshot shows a search I did for Library Lessons. All of the binders created showing Library Lessons is able to be opened. This is a great way to get ideas for lessons on any topic.]]> 2017-03-19 18:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161013760 arhanks https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161013937 There is no better way to locate helpful tips on using LiveBinders, than an actual LiveBinder!  The link below is for a LiveBinder filled with LiveBinder Tips.

A great way to get students started with LiveBinder is to create a template Binder of them. Share the link to the template Binder with the students and then instruct them to make a copy of the Binder. Once the copy is made, they are then able to add their own information without editing the original binder.]]> 2017-03-19 18:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161014123 arhanks https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161014327 If you are anything like me, then you probably have binder upon binder filled with teaching materials or a file cabinet filled with papers. I know I had an entire book shelf filled with binders for all of my different units. LiveBinder has now taken the place of those physical binders and bookshelves. I can easily locate the unit I am teaching, see the lesson plans I have used in the past, and print out any documents I may need or share the document to my Google Classroom. Now my bookshelves only hold books. I am now also able to easily share my Binders with administrators so they can see what I am doing in my library.]]> 2017-03-19 18:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161014327 arhanks https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161014713 It is rare that a teacher hears the excuse that a dog ate some homework, but excuses are still there. The most common excuse that I have heard from students is that they lost the instructions for the project they needed to complete. LiveBinder removes those common excuses. I create a student version of each of my Unit Binders that contains the syllabus, rubrics, handouts, PowerPoints, and any other link or document that is helpful for the unit. If a student is absent, they can access the notes, videos and documents for what they missed or if a student "loses" a document that can find it in the LiveBinder. I have done this on websites and in Google Classroom, but have found that students prefer the organization of LiveBinder over everything else. No more excuses, at least not regarding losing anything!]]> 2017-03-19 18:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161014713 arhanks https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161015662 Do you have a question about LiveBinders or ideas about how you can use LiveBinder? If so, feel free to comment and I will answer any questions you may have. I always love to hear how other educators are using tech in their classrooms or libraries, so share those ideas as well!]]> 2017-03-19 18:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/arhanks/1viw1gx9ccz7/wish/161015662
