I was doing an online search recently for some teachers at my school for a student instruction sheet for Livebinders and a Rubric, and I was not able to find one. So I made one myself :) LiveBinders is a 3-ring Binder for the web.
Ideas for using Livebinders:
1. Have students create an ePorfolio of their work from the year in your class.
2. Have students use a Livebinder to present a research project.
3. Create a Livebinder as a resource for your students, and post it on your web page.
4. Use Livebinders to organize your electronic resources for the units and courses you teach.
5. Have students create a Livebinder on a country, or make a Travelogue in a World Language classroom.
6. Put a set of digital student projects in a Livebinder and share so that students can see their classmates’ projects.
7. Students can create a binder on a book, or author in a Language Arts class.
8. Create a binder of parent resources, and post it on your website.
Advantages of Livebinders:
• They are free!
• They are a great tool for teachers AND students.
• You can add many types of multimedia into them-documents, PDFs, videos, photos, images, links, websites, etc.
• They incorporate technology into your lessons.
• They can easily be updated, or changed since they are digital.
• Great for organization!
• They are easy to share.
Why use web-based activities?
• More engaging/interactive
• Increased interest/motivation
• Technology can facilitate the transfer from teacher-centered to learner-centered environments
• Enhance the authenticity of the learning process
• Help develop 21st Century Learning Skills
• Inspire creativity

I also updated my Technology Template Bundle (Wordle, Glogster, Stripgenerator Xtranormal, Voki, Blabberize, Bombay TV, Wordle, Wallwisher, Livebinders, ) and added the LiveBinders template to it so it now contains student instruction sheets with screen shots and rubrics for 10 different popular websites in education!
