LiveBinders Tips & Tricks

“How are you using LiveBinders as ePortfolios?” That’s the theme for our 2014 Top 10 LiveBinders contest.

iPhone App version 1.0 Last summer one of our Top 10 LiveBinders nominees, David Prindle, shared an interesting story with us.

His students could then get access […]

You can now search for and share a binder using its ID number. When sharing your binders with others, simply give them the ID number to your binder.  Then they can use that number from our website to open the binder. To find your Binder ID, look for the “id=” sign in your binder’s URL. […]

With this update, students under 13 will be able to use the teacher’s email address to sign up for LiveBinders accounts.  If a student forgets their password, an email will be sent to the teacher’s email address with the student’s username and a new temporary password. Please note that students will not be able to […]
