We have two small changes to talk about today. The first is for the iPad. Previously you were not able to scroll content in the iPad. We have implemented a short-term fix for this by adding “Less” and “More” buttons at the bottom of the window on the iPad. By clicking on these buttons, you can adjust the vertical size of the content window to view longer pages: You willl see these buttons only on the iPad Present Mode The second item that we added is the link to present mode. We noticed... Read Full Story

Tina and I are always awestruck at the amazing binders that are assembled by the LiveBinders community. I know lots of teachers who just search for binders before trying to create their own lesson plans. I thought I would take a minute to show case some of the amazing teachers, principals, education consultants, technology coordinators, and librarians who have created whole libraries of great binders. I’m including twitter ids for the ones that I know so that you can follow them on twitter... Read Full Story

We just did a couple of updates to “LiveBinder It” that you may notice the next time you use it. Someone in our LiveBinders community pointed out that if you save a page to a subtab with “LiveBinder It”, we used to remove that part of the menu after it was done saving. This may have left you wondering, “Did I just save that to the right subtab?” We love our LiveBinder community for pointing this out to us. So we fixed it so that you will see subtab that has your new link: The second item... Read Full Story

I know that when I speak at conferences that the most common questions are: “Can I have a copy of your slides?” and “Can you provide that url again?” Conference handouts are a very important part of your presentation. Your talk is often so information rich that it can’t possibly be adequately absorbed in just an hour. People need to digest the information and then go back and review it. They also need reinforcement of your message and they need to explore your sources for themselves so that... Read Full Story

We love our LiveBinders community! Everyone always has helpful suggestions and ideas on how to improve LiveBinders. This one was requested by many of you. You felt like the subtabs were not visible enough in the binder. We polled a few of the people in our community with some ideas and this was the design that they thought would make the subtabs jump out more. Please let us know if this works for you. We deeply appreciate your feedback! Read Full Story
