LiveBinders is a cool tool that my future teacher self is already in love with! If you are anything like me, you have great intentions of keeping your teaching ideas (worksheets, lesson plans, videos, etc) in one neat and organized location. But, in reality, that never seems to be the case!
LiveBinders is a great tool for teachers to help them stay organized! When I first started looking around LiveBinders, I was a bit stumped. Even now that I've spent some time navigating around the site, I'm still not 100% sure that I did everything correctly. But, I did get the gist of it! Although I will definitely be spending more time in the future looking at what LiveBinders has to offer, I'm pretty happy with what I've figured out for now!
After finagling through the creation of my Binder, I ran across another stumbling block when I went to post the link to my blog. After posting the link, I tested that link out, and found out that I had set my Binder to private therefore making the link completely useless. So, it was back to the drawing board and a bit more finagling until I figured out how to change those settings!
It was particularly important for me to change my Binder from a private Binder for the simple reason of how it will be used in the future. If you have read my previous posts, you are aware that I would really like to set up a class blog for my future kindergarten classroom. When I initially came up with that idea, I figured I could post worksheets, videos, pictures, etc to the blog one by one. LiveBinder changes all that. Not only is it a great resource to keep me as teacher organized, but it's an easy "one stop shop" way to keep the parents up to date on what we are covering and will be covering in the upcoming days/weeks/months. This could be especially useful for a student who is absent, students who are struggling in a certain area and need some supplemental work, parents who would like to review/preview material covered in class, or just to keep parents in the loop with what their children are studying. This is a tool that will be used in my future kindergarten classroom!
