RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
LiveBinders allows you to create living portfolios for whatever the need may be. With LiveBinders, you can make individual
portfolios for each content area, class period, or for each student if desired. Students can create their own portfolios as well and
store their work without messy paper.

This resource can be used to keep track of all the students work, lesson plans, student accommodations, etc., so that it all can be
referenced later. This tool can be useful for both student and teacher. The teacher will have an easier way to store and access all
this information without the need for file cabinets and tons of paper. It also has a feature that allow you to create a eTextbook
allowing the classroom to become practically paperless. For students, it allows them an easier way to store and access all their
work in an electronic form, again, without the need for paper.
