 * Hi my name is Marla Battiste, and I am a trainer/facilitator for those who provide services to individuals with Developmental Disabilities. I have always been interested in learning how to provide valuable training using technological resources, in particular in an on-line environment. While doing research I came across the technology LiveBinders and because I am a true believer that organization is the key to success, the discovery of this tool is very exciting! It is my goal that the information presented here is appealing to those who teach in the K-12 classroom as well as those who teach in other sectors. I hope this presentation is informative as well as engaging. **

=__Content Uses of this Technology__= The content uses of this technology is endless; the binders can be developed just for resources or used for specific lesson plans or training. The website itself gives you the opportunity to search for topics of your interest = = =__Pedagogical Considerations for this Technology.__= For successful integration of technology there needs to careful consideration of how the learning takes place; also known as the pedagogical considerations. When using Livebinders I believe that you have to consider the learners motivation, skills and abilities. The constructivist approach fits best when utilizing LiveBinders; it requires facilitating the transfer of knowledge to the student by creating a learning environment conducive to active and interactive participation in the learning process. LiveBinders allows the learners to be actively discovering, constructing and validating acquired knowledge by exploring and interacting via collaboration.
