Thing #22 - LiveWell, LiveStrong, LiveBinders (ooh, a homograph!)

I created 3 binders on my LiveBinders account, and they are titled thus:
- 23 Things Resources ( collection of useful sites found through the 23 Things blog)
- My Favorite Teaching Resource Sites (pretty self-explanatory)
- Writing Help (collection of sites offering guidance for writing APA papers)

LiveBinders offers yet another format for organizing and sharing online content.  I see it as being interchangeable with bookmarking sites, as both offer methods for keeping track and making sense of the limitless internet, and otherwise sharing online finds with like-minded parties.  To me, its a great resource, and just one of many options teachers can utilize effectively to increase productivity through better time management.  It simply comes down to personal preference.

Additionally, it seems to me that LiveBinders could be used in the classroom by students, perhaps for organizing class assignments, researching teacher-approved websites for projects, or for creating an online portfolio related to an assigned topic.  Interactive and fun, right?  Students could benefit greatly from experiencing and practicing organizing information online.

Here's a look at my Writing Help binder, complete with my favorite associated websites.
