LiveBinders Tips & Tricks

iPhone App version 1.0 Last summer one of our Top 10 LiveBinders nominees, David Prindle, shared an interesting story with us. Students from his science class did not have LiveBinders accounts to keep track of his class binders, so instead they used a QR reader downloaded on their iPhones. His students could then get access […]

You can now search for and share a binder using its ID number. When sharing your binders with others, simply give them the ID number to your binder.  Then they can use that number from our website to open the binder. To find your Binder ID, look for the “id=” sign in your binder’s URL. […]

With this update, students under 13 will be able to use the teacher’s email address to sign up for LiveBinders accounts.  If a student forgets their password, an email will be sent to the teacher’s email address with the student’s username and a new temporary password. Please note that students will not be able to […]

You can now add multiple uploaded files to a binder at the same time.  This should make it much faster to build binders with files from your local PC or school network. To use this new feature, go to your “My Binders” page and click on “My Uploaded Files” in the dashboard on the left. […]

Our iPad app V 1.4 offers a few new features. You can now search for binders from within the app.  Just select “Search” from the main menu.  This will allow you to find other people’s binders and add them to your shelf using the “Add” menu option in the upper right of the binder. You […]

We just changed the way the edit menus work on LiveBinders.  You can now switch tabs when you have an edit menu open. So if you are in one tab and change the tab color, you can now switch to another tab and change the tab color without closing the menu.  This should help you […]

We noticed recently that Google search was giving better results, when trying to find a specific binder, than our own internal search.  So we decided to try out Google search as our primary search tool.  Please let us know what you think.  Does this work for you?  Or would you like our original search back?  […]

We had a problem on the website yesterday and this morning.  We are going to turn off the thumbnails on the binders until we can get a more permanent fix up on the site this weekend.  We apologize for the problems.  We are gearing up for fall and expect to have all these issues resolved […]

We now have an easier way to add embed codes to a binder. This feature was a personal one for me.  I archive the links from the #PATUE chat each week and whenever I got a video or Slideshare presentation, I would just groan.  It took too many steps to insert the embed codes from […]

We are always trying to make the process of creating and editing binders smoother and easier for you. We’ve had a lot of input that changing the binder cover was not intuitive, so we have redesigned that interface to make it easier to upload a binder cover or to pick a fun Flickr image to […]

We would like to thank all of the nominees for participating in the Top 10 contest.  We really appreciate the hard work that went into creating and updating your binders to keep them useful and engaging throughout the year – well done! When we announced the winners during our Knowledge Sharing Place session on Wednesday, […]

It’s that time of year again when you get to share with us a binder that you found really helpful or influential to you or your class. For the nominating process, first you share with us those helpful binders and then we will have a short voting period. When you nominate a binder, please describe […]
