Resources at your fingertips

I know so many educators know about LiveBinders, but I wonder how many of them are like me? I was sent an e-mail about it and how great it was, but you get busy, you fully intend to go check it out, but often never make it back to those great ideas. Well I am here to say MANY are missing out, LiveBiners is such an amazing resource! I just searched the public binders for solar system binders, there are 54 of them! We teach about the solar system in 8th grade science, LiveBinders is like having 54 teachers say hey, here are my solar system resources....have a look! How great is that?

I also looked up binders on math, technology and many other topics. I just hate to think how many teachers are missing out on opportunities to find great resources with little work!

I also see opportunities to create unit binders that students would have access to at home, how great would it be for your students to run into trouble, forget a resource, and boom there it is at their fingertips.

Technology is offering our school systems amazing opportunities to engage and reach students.....why are we letting these opportunities slip by?! So many will benefit, administrators, teachers, support staff, and most importantly STUDENTS!

This coming new year I hope all the educators who are "connected" will reach out and show (I mean really physically show)some of your coworkers LiveBinders and the many other great resources out there......trust me they will be amazed, I was!
