LiveBinders is a tool that is all about organization. If you have a system already in place using binders and tabs, then this is an online version of that. Unlike the hands-on system, LiveBinder is all online, accessible anywhere you go without hauling a heavy bag around with you. It is FREE up to 10 binders and can be used in any profession needing organization. 

Benefits to an Easier Lifestyle

We all know that it takes so much time to fully get your work space organized just the way you want it. Then, you have all this stuff stacked around your work area to keep your organized supplies and files. Not only that, it takes a bit of time to then remember where something was placed during that organization process. Why not try something new to make life a bit easier!!  That is where LiveBinders becomes a necessity.

  2. Hi Lori! What a great way to cut down on paper. Sometimes I feel that if I'm given another piece of paper I'm gonna scream. Also, multiple binders and be a pain an time consuming to to organize. This definitely would save a lot of time. Thank you for sharing this, I'm going to look into it.

  3. Hi Lori, Thanks for sharing so much information about LiveBinder. Our school uses both Sharepoint and Google Drive for teachers to put files in a shared folder, so it has gotten confusing and messy the past few years as both are being used simultaneously. It sounds like LiveBinder might be a better way to share files with parents and students.
