Ever want your class to browse several web sites and can't do any instruction for cries of "Its not working!" echoing throughout your room? One of my colleagues recently made use of a fantastic online resource called Live Binders.com. We had a grand total of 34 questions that the students were to use 14 different web sites to answer. And I don't know about yours, but my kids can't seem to accurately type AOL much less a long .com with a thousand back slashes. In comes Live Binders. You give them one link, and when they click it it will open a page with all of the web sites that you specified on separate tabs. So they can just click through them! Its so much better and you can actually use your time to do some teaching instead of getting carpal tunnel from typing everything in for them. Here, better for me to show you! The blue tabs at the top of the page are all of the sites I decided to use. I love this resource and use it regularly in my own classroom.
