Thing #22

Live binders are pretty handy. I did visit the Live Binder site and created a few live binders for myself. The three made for class are called:

1. Summer EDUC 5540
-made up of content and resources from our class
2. Music
-made up of mostly brass-player resources for my private students
3. Projects
-made up of current projects and ideas for future projects (music related)

here is my "music" live binder:

I believe that teachers could use live binders to assist students with assignments both inside a classroom setting and outside at home. The teacher could collect specific resources, save them in a live binder and allow students access to them. This would ensure that no questionable or objectionable material could be found by the students while researching the content. I think that one could modify a live binder for activities such as online scavenger hunts or webquests. I think they could be highly useful tools.
