Thing # 22 - LiveBinders

Live Binders are a great way to organize important documents, pdf files, pictures, or even educational websites for later use. Creating an account with Live Binders is free and easy. The only thing that I found a little complicated was the further organization options that it offered to you within the folders. I did not feel that the tutorial was "self explanatory" and as easy to use as some other sites such as Diigo. I still was able to create three different Educational binders and load documents and websites to each one. The first binder that I created was named Educational Links. This binder is designated for all of the many educational sites that have been presented to me in Education 3040 through website of the day, diigo, and the 23thingsblogspot. Many of the websites that have been suggested, I would actually like to document for future use. I felt that LiveBinders was a good way to try to accomplish that. The second Binder that I created is named Education 3040. This was created organize different documents and website links that I use on a daily basis with Education 3040, such as Livetext and wikispaces. The last binder that was created is named Sped Education Report. This binder has all of my APA paper resources uploaded to it. LiveBinders is a good way for educators to keep things organized while continuing to compile multiple documents, educational tools, and websites to their repertoire. LiveBinders can be used inside the classroom as well, by students accessing a list of sites that the teacher may have previously compiled in a binder that is available for their use. Many different lessons can be taught through fun and interactive websites on the internet. All a teacher would need to do is find relevant and appropriate websites specific to the curriculum's needs and compile them together in a Binder and then make that binder available to the students.

As far as successfully loading an icon of one of my binders, it wasn't working for me. However, I was able to post a link to my livebinders account and present all of my binders that I created.
