Two other types of tools we examined this week.
Live Binders is a web based program that held would hold resources teachers find. When I began teaching, my colleagues all had three ring binders containing worksheets and lessons they use in the classroom. The teachers had to make copies, and dispense these to their students. With Live Binders, teachers can give their students and their colleagues to access.
The Browser Based Mind Mapping tools are online concept mapping capabilities. Many student benefit from a graphic organizer. The Venn Diagram on this site clearly indicates the tools that are free and the ones that cost. Teachers often spend their own money on materials for their classroom. This becomes expensive. This year alone I have spent over $1,000 of my own money for materials for my classroom. The idea of not providing pencils, notebooks and erasers for each student in my class is enticing.
