Disclaimers
•  I am not a “techie”
•  I do not know everything that there is to know
about the system or how to use it.
•  I am likely to make a mistake or get lost while
we are viewing this technology.
•  It takes practice and time to put one of the
binders together (even with shared resources). I
may not have found or tried much of what is
there. (I hope you do and will share!)
•  There may be unexpected issues with technology
during the presentation. L
•  I like to learn things that are new…so, it bears
repeating, I may not have all of the answers. J

LiveBinder? (palm tree)

•  Now that you know that I am a novice,
how many of you feel like you might be
in the wrong place? (jaguar)

it works and an example regardless?

create)
Next Steps

on PC, Mac,
Phone)
2. Create an account.
3. Log in.
4. Look at your opening page. There should be a
sample binder to play with.
5. Note that there are several types of binders in the
column to the right. Scroll down to counseling.
6. Open any one of them to see what they have
included (No need to re-invent any wheels)!
7. Go back to the list of results for counseling. At the
top, it gives you options for emailing, posting to
Twitter or Facebook, or embedding the entire shelf.
Next Steps
8. Go to Featured (or back to Home), and you will see
many other featured binders to add. You can cut and
paste the links or create “bookmarklets” on your
computer to come back to.
9. Return to My and note the instructions for
embedding YouTube. There are also instructions for
embedding Twitter Feeds, Pinterest Boards, Linkedin
Profiles, and more. (It is all in the LiveBinders Blog)
10. Stay on My. Click on Create a New Binder!
A. Decide whether or not it will have tags
B. Select the category you believe it fits
C. Decide if it should be public or private (If
private, you will need to create an access
key to give people so that they can see it).

Is there time for trying to add a picture?
•  Create a tab –no need to name or add color. You will
likely delete it.

•  Click on Upload
•  That will take you to Browse
•  Add a picture from your files.
•  A link will be created that you can insert on another tab
(or you can leave it in that one).

Click Here to Edit. Click on Insert and then Insert
Image. Paste URL and click on OK (quotes from the
Help section). It will give you a chance to identify and
size it. (It takes practice to work out how and where).
