My Take

Livebinder is a great way to organize information for students to access so that they don't get bogged down in the "Google Search" nightmare which yields too many sources, some of which are not credible or relevant. It takes time, however, to set this up, so the project students would be on would need to merit the teacher set-up time investment.

How I Use It

Students who need to research on a topic go to the Livebinder to access sources already screened by me. For instance, students doing a group project for a digital presentation would access the information in the Livebinder. If each person has a specific category to research within that given topic, there are category subfolders in the Livebinder already organized for this group task giving each student a specific place to focus when researching.
