I created this blog to share my ideas and thoughts about teaching technology to children and adults. I will share my struggles, cool web 2.0 sites, and any other things I find interesting about technology and life.
Live Binders is a web tool that allows you to create an online binder with tabs and sub tabs. You can use this to share and annotate images, websites, google docs and more. This would be a good site to create an online portfolio for students and professionals.
This is a Binder about iPads that shows how LiveBinders can be used to share information through topics and sub topics.

Live Binders
This is a web browser made just for kids and can set parents minds at ease when their children are on the internet! The site allows kids to search for kid appropriate videos on yourtube, play kid appropriate games and lets them search and look at websites for kids! Parents can sign up and track the amount of time the child is on the computer and password protect them from getting off the browser and going somewhere else. I have tried this out on my daughter and she seemed to really like it, the interface is easy to navigate and there is a lot to choose from. I am intersted to see how this could be used in a classsroom setting for yound students, if I get the chance to try it I will share later!

This iPad app allows you to see and interact with you computer via your ipad. The app cost five dollars, and seems to be worth the small fee. I tried a bunch of different programs on my computer and they all seemed to work well. Teachers you can manipulate your computer and presentations without being at the front of the class! You can try this app free for 5 minutes before you have to buy it.
