LiveBinders

Ideas for using Livebinders :1. Have students create an ePorfolio of their work from the year in your class.

2. Have students use a Livebinder to present a research project.

3. Create a Livebinder as a resource for your students, and post it on your web page.

4. Use Livebinders to organize your electronic resources for the units and courses you teach.

5. Have students create a Livebinder on a country, or make a Travelogue in a World Language classroom.

6. Put a set of digital student projects in a Livebinder and share so that students can see their classmates’ projects.

7. Students can create a binder on a book, or author in a Language Arts class.

8. Create a binder of parent resources, and post it on your website.From ©Liz’s Lessons by Elizabeth Bucrek
