If you have already built some great binders and are sharing them with others, you may be looking for ways to make them just a little better.

See the tabs above for some techniques for polishing your binder.

Change a tab or subtab name
We get this question all the time because it isn't that obvious.  But just click on the tab or the subtab name that you want to change and type in the new name.
  Subtab 2 -- Copy Content from one binder to another
How to copy content from one binder to another
An entire binder
  • You can copy an entire binder from the shelf
  • Click on "options" under the binder icon
  • Then click on "copy"
  • A private copy is made of the binder
Just one page
  • When you are in the binder that you want to copy to, click on "Edit Menu"
  • Then click on "Search" at the top of the edit menu
  • Then click on "My Collection" - all your web pages are there.
  • If you leave the search term as "ALL" you can scroll through everything, or you can search for a word in the url.

Tab 2 -- Computer Lab
For the computer lab or classroom
You can have a LiveBinder come up in full screen without any toolbars or LiveBinders information.  This is great for use in front of the class where you don't want any distractions from the content or for in the computer lab. 

Click on "show full screen" on the shelf from the "Options" menu.

This will give you a different url that you can drag to the desktop for the computer lab or even link to in your blog or wiki.

Tab 5 -- Blank Tab?
What do you do with a Tab when you have Subtabs

Tab 6 -- Tagging
Tagging
Under the "Edit Menu > Properties" you can enter tags for your binders.  This will help people who are searching for binders on your topic find them.  The tags are used in both the LiveBinders search as well as for search engine.  A good description with keywords will also help.

Tab 7 -- Embedded YouTub
Embedding You Tube
Theresa used the embedded YouTube option so that the videos didn't have all the comments and distractions around them (click on the tabs to see the pages in the binder).

To do this, go to Edit Menu > Search > YouTube Videos and search for the video that you want to embed.
