RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.

Live Binders lets the instructor create a portfolio that holds many things. The portfolio can be used for two uses, one being a place
where the students can store all of their work. The other can be used to hold assignments for the students to completes, along
with any useful information that they may need as well.

INTEGRATION IDEA - PORTFOLIOS

How might you use this resource in a lesson plan to promote student-centered learning?

As mentioned above, the portfolios can hold useful assignments for the students to completes ranging from simple graphic

 VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
 Based on the “value-added rating scale” above, how would you rate the technology integration you described, using the
selected resource?
 Explain your rating based on the rubric indicators.

I would rate this online tool with a rating of 2. My reasoning on why I rated this a 2 is because this tool does not really transform a
lesson. This portfolio tool is just a simple and useful tool that can be used to benefit organization for the students and benefit
them in goal setting along with witnessing their growth.
