Your Say - Live Binders
Living in a digital world and participating in an accelerated online course can be overwhelming, and keeping track of all the resources and tools that are shared, inspiring, or something you want to remember as you move into practice, can become information overload!
What is LiveBInders?
LiveBinders is exactly what its name says - it is a web-based binder where information can be tabbed, organized, and shared. Shared binders can be stored to a book shelf in your account and will be updated as your colleagues find more information throughout this journey. LiveBinders is also a great way to help your less organized students keep it all together.
The free version allows you to create five binders with two tabs per binder. If you continue to use LiveBinders you may want to upgrade to one of the educator options which range from $35.00 per year to $100 per year, depending on your needs.
