My new favourite thing: Livebinders.com

This is so cool and its free - Livebinders.com is a tool that allows you to create an online 3 ring binder online which you can use to organize your online resources…

I’ve seen examples shared on twitter and have started following @livebinders there - but while searching for materials for a course project I remembered I had saved a few of them as examples - then I started to look through what was available on the livebinders site that folks were sharing… and was AMAZED :) (I feel like I’m a selling snuggies here :)

Some that caught my eye were:

• Skype in Schools - http://livebinders.com/play/play_or_edit?id=8641
• Mobile Apps for Education - http://livebinders.com/play/play_or_edit?id=18657
• An Educator’s Guide to Twitter - http://livebinders.com/play/play_or_edit?id=34291

They have binders on everything from Animals to Travel with lots in between - Livebinders themselves are on twitter, facebook and have their own blog… the binders are created from teachers, educators etc., from around the world…

I think its a very cool way to organize learning units and/or modules and make them available for your students, peers and/or others to use…

They do have a rating and review process and the information is available to share through a link.

Anyways… just thought I’d share - taking the notion of the traditional binder and making it portable, editable and shareable… is very cool.
