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 http://livebinder.com/ • How many of you are familiar with LiveBinder? (palm tree) • How many of you have developed one of your own? (elephant) • How many of you are just curious? (monkey) • Now that you know that I am a novice, how many of you feel like you might be in the wrong place? (jaguar) • How many of you would like to see how it works and an example regardless?

(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.
