Link To The Website: http://www.livebinders.com/
The website that I will be reviewing this week is LiveBinders. This site allows you to organize file and folders into a virtual binder in much the same way that you would keep them in a physical binder. You are able to organize your work with file tab dividers to make it easy to find everything. You can then share your binder with anyone you would like to grant viewing permission to and it can be accessed from any device. The site is very easy to use. It is free and has a quick sign up process. Once you are logged in, it automatically has already created "Your First Binder" and double clicking on it allows you to get right to work. It also has a tab automatically inserted into the binder giving step by step instructions as to how to use the site and this tab can simply be deleted from the front of the binder once you feel comfortable with the site.
This website would be used for Teaching in the Planning phase. It is a great place to keep lesson plans, to organize all web 2.0 content, to keep portfolios, and document professional development. I is very versatile in terms of the content and file formats that can be used on it. Also, not only could be it used for lesson planning, but it could be used for administrative purposes, for packaging information and resources for parents, and to leave lesson plans and instructions for substitutes.
Here is a sample of what Parent Resource Binder might look like:
I could see this being a resource that I would use everyday and something that I could heavily rely upon to stay organized. I plan on exploring this site more. I can see me using it now for school and for my extra curricular activities and non profit work.
