Tons of iPad Resources and more

My recent favorite collaboration and resource organization tool is LiveBinder.  If you've never heard of this site you should definitely check it out.  It makes organizing your resources, searching for resources, and sharing a breeze.  Just like you would with your Diigo or Delicious accounts you can install a "LiveBinder It" icon to your toolbar and add any page or resource you find and organize it into binders.

One of the most fabulous LiveBinders I have personally used to get iPad ideas and resources from is the iPads in School LiveBinder.  The Binder is very well organized and makes finding anything you need for iPads super easy.  Use the subtabs at the top to access specific category resources such as teachers, parents, administrators, etc. and then search within that tab for resources.  For example...if you go to the teachers subtab you will find resources for grading with the iPad and lesson plans, to name a few.  Remember this is an editable web 2.0 tool, so you can share and add to this LiveBinder any helpful resources you've come across and used. 
This would be a wonderful tool for your students to share resources.  If they were researching a topic for example they could organize all of their resources into one Binder where everyone can access it and write notes about it.
Happy searching!!!  I know you'll be hooked into creating your own Binders. 
As always let me know what you think and how you're using LiveBinders in your class.
