LiveBinders Tips & Tricks

We have now added a comments feature to LiveBinders so that you can comment on binders in the same way that you would comment on a blog. You just press the comment button at the bottom of the binder. You must be logged in to leave comments.

I thought all of this would tie in beautifully with the pale pick roses, […]

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 […]

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 […]
