We all know that being able to save things in an organized way is important in the world of education. The tricky part is deciding how to organize the things you want to save. How do you do it? Where do you put them? What if you lose them? There's a cool tool that can answer all of these questions, that you might think you're familiar with! (Binders.)
We've all been using binders since elementary school, but never quite like this. LiveBinders is a website that allows you to create online "binders" which can be used to save links, which you can view the pages of from your binder, itself! If you're confused about what I'm talking about, just look at this binder on theatre education I created, myself: http://www.livebinders.com/play/play?id=700957.
See? I actually made three binders, titled "Education Binder: Theatre Links", "Neato Education Tools", and "Miscellaneous". This allows me to have a narrow, specific level; a broad specific level; and a broad broad level, if that makes a bit of sense. These binders could prove to be just as useful as physical binders, if an educator gave the proper assignment. Perhaps an educator could teach a lesson on organization of not only physical resources, but immaterial internet resources. The students could compile websites relative to the subject matter of the class, and create binders and shelve using these links. The students could then share with others! Binders are just as important an internet tool as a "real life" one.
