RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
LiveBinders is a website where one can make a virtual 3 ring binder. One can store notes, word
documents, PDFs, videos, images, etc. in a LiveBinder. The virtual binder can be sorted using tabs, and
subjects. One is also able to share a LiveBinder and collaborate with others.

INTEGRATION IDEA - PORTFOLIOS

I might use LiveBinders with my students, to allow them to choose what assignments that reflect their
growth throughout the year. LiveBinders would also give the student, their parents, and myself access to
the students work 24/7.

VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
I would rate LiveBinders as a 3 because the website aligns with multiple ISTE Standards, and it is a good
tool for Students and Teachers. LiveBinders aligned with both Student and Teacher ISTE Standards. On
the LiveBinders website they have tutorials for both a Teacher user and a Student user.
