Pashke_LiveBinders

**//Christopher J. Pashke //** LiveBinders ( http://www.livebinders.com/) is a web 2.0 tool developed so that you as a teacher can do with digital information what you do with the piles of papers on your desk - organize them into nice presentable containers - like 3-ring binders on your shelf. A fellow teacher from my school has told me about it and I have been trying to use it in my own classroom. __//**Advantages of using Livebinders **//__ LiveBinders is great because it is simple and straightforward to use. Currently, the entire tool is free, and each user has up to 100MB on storage space. The capability to upload your own files definitely adds to its utility. A user can add collaborators to their binder, so multiple people can work on the same project. I'm trying to think of some disadvantages of the tool...I think I need to work with adding more different types of files to see if they all upload properly.

__//**Disadvantages of using Livebinders **//__ The limitation of 100MB could be a disadvantage if you really get productive with this tool, and currently a professional or advanced option doesn't seem to be even available for a fee. If you are trying to organize your URLs or would like to present a batch of URLs to a group, definitely try this out! **//LiveBinders Commercial //**
