Ed Tech Tuesday: LiveBinders Review

This is the LiveBinders logo, from www.livebinders.com

Every Tuesday, I will review a web tool or app that can help you in your library. Today's Ed Tech Tuesday focus is a LiveBinders review. I've recently started using LiveBinders and I must say it is pretty cool. It's a virtual three ring binder - basically like bookmarks on your browser that you can share with the world (or just those you choose to share them with.)

I am using LiveBinders for several purposes, but my favorite is for training presentations. I can talk about dozens of websites during my presentation, but no one has to take notes.  All they have to do is go to my LiveBinders page to see every resource I discussed in my presentation.  LiveBinders can also incorporate MS Word documents and PDF files. LiveBinders is also a great place to store links when I'm planning my library lesson plans!

School librarians can use LiveBinders to share links with students.  Just save your LiveBinder to the desktop, or create a link on your school library website!  Best of all, it's free!  Give LiveBinders a try today.

Leave your own LiveBinders review in the comments and let me know how you use this tool.

    I built a livebinder about library programming. It was easy to use for curating but when adding my own information to the "text layout" option, I learned that the formatting is difficult with this tool. However, the librarians using the livebinder enjoy using it as a resource and say it is user-friendly.

Worth more than I paid!

"I am so glad I found the Elementary Librarian lesson plans! The fact that these plans were easy to use and were aligned to both the AASL and Common Core ELA standards made them worth far more that what I paid for them!"

All the work is done for me!

"This will be my 7th year and until your plans I have been spinning my wheels trying to come up with solid plans each week. I had planned on spending all summer trying to figure out my “years” plans, but you have done all the work for me."

My students are engaged!

"I was thrilled to discover your treasure trove of resources. After two years of doing it “my way,” I decided to utilize the center approach and do it “your” way. The students are engaged and I see them using the knowledge the lessons give them."

My principal was impressed!

"Your lesson plans with the Common Core and AASL 21st Century Standards were a life saver! My principal looked through my plan binder and was completely floored that EVERY lesson had both sets of standards."
