Better Spelling Tips

March 30, 2009

Sometimes it just takes a little guidance to help a poor speller become a great speller.  In this livebinder are a few really good websites that break down spelling tips in a way that can help a young child develop good spelling habits.  This is not only useful for your 2nd grader, but your 5th grader, as well.  There is even an online free interactive game that your kids can play that will help them practice random spelling.  The game is located in the last tab of the binder below.

4th,5th and 6th grade Math Word Problems

March 17, 2009

It’s parent/teacher conference time and if you are like many parents, you are probably working on certain math skills with your kids. We had a very good response to our 3rd grade math word problems binder and have a few more math word worksheet binders for the 4th, 5th and 6th graders.

Inside each binder is a little summary about the skills the kids should be developing at that grade level. To view the different worksheets, just click at the top of the binder to see the corresponding tabs. Click on the tabs to view the websites with the printable worksheets. Some of the tabs even contain websites that let kids answer questions directly online.

Sending Links to Customers Never Looked So Good

March 9, 2009

Thanks to some excellent feedback, we have a new release that includes several improvements to LiveBinders.

As you know, LiveBinders is like a 3-ring binder for the web – allowing you to capture a variety of web links into a tabbed format which we call LiveBinders.  Instead of bookmarking links – you can add them directly into livebinders.  Your LiveBinder icons can be embedded on your web pages or sent as links in email.  It’s a great way to share multiple links for yourself or with other people.

Here are some of the highlights in this release:

Upload Your PDF files to LiveBinders

Many of our users have been creatinglivebinders for customer documentation.  With our new upload feature you can upload your own PDFs and include them in a livebinder along with your website links.

Better Looking Binders

We’ve given the livebinders a more polished look.  At the top now is the LiveBinder logo and the username/ login line.  Underneath that is the contents of the binder including the name of the binder, the author’s name, date created, and the number of views for the binder.  If you are the author of the binder,  you will also be able to see the ‘edit menu’ button to the right which allows you to make changes to your binder’s contents and properties.

Bookmark While You Browse
The LiveBinder It bookmark tool

Although many of you can still create a blank binder from scratch, new users will be asked to install in their browser the ‘LiveBinder It’ bookmark tool.  This allows them to create binders while they browse. It is a quicker and easier way to create binders on the fly.  You can find out more about the bookmark tool here: http://livebinders.com/create/bookmark?type=bookmark

LiveBinders was created to help people make their searches more useful.  Before Livebinders there was no easy way to combine multiple links into a document format that you can easily access online.  If you’ve found LiveBinders to be useful for you, let us know.  We have more improvements on the way.

Thank you for using LiveBinders!
