I have to say, as much fun as I've had learning about new media at times the whole thing can be overwhelming. As cool as PLC online are a voice in the back of my head kept nagging saying "you know this will be a hassle as well as a gift." So it was a bit refreshing to deal with new technology and sites that are far more tangible and immediate. For this one I chose LiveBinders and the minute I started checking it out I thought of about a million uses for it.
So I worked up two within a manner of minutes. In a way this application is a bit like having multiple tabs open in your browser simultaneously, something I have to do constantly when compiling data. My first binder simply takes each school in Barrow's OSA report card and puts them in tabular form. This is immensely helpful for a person like me who may be compiling reports and needs to go back and forth between each school rapidly. I think this will save me a ton of time. The second one may have more application beyond myself. I chose several of the best interactive websites and flow charts focused on choosing the correct statistical test when conducting research. This one is helpful for me, but much like the online calculator binder I could see others finding it useful as well. Which is why the sharing function LiveBinders uses is such a great idea. I imagine I will find many more uses for this application going forward.

I'm so glad you found LiveBinders useful. I'm a multiple tab person myself, too (have 6 open as I write this), but never considered putting the ones I use most often into a binder...hmm. I may have to consider that idea now.
ReplyDeleteJust one little quirk. Your links to your two binders above are both to private binders. Not sure if you realized they were set that way :)
Whoops. They should both be public now. Sorry about that.
