So I'm reclining in my oversized chair, feet up, just surfing on my wonderful new Acer (penning between bloglines, amazon, and vons.com) and I realize something--people are still reading my blog even though I haven't been posting very often! Thanks!        & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;     ;         & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;     ;         & nbsp; Now, I don't think it's a good idea not to post often if you want to keep the channels of communication open between yourself and our blogging community... I'm just sayin' I'm surprised. And thanks.I have lots of blog about but the same thing is still true--I got the NCLB Blues -- Come on everybody, sing along with me...   I got the blues, I got the NCLB blues   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;  

Oh well, nothin' like a tablet pc to brighten up my mood. I've been using GoBinder with my tablet--absolutely fabulous. Love it more than OneNote (though I understand that OneNote has more capability--but the learning curve is tough and I'm not keen on the layout.)  Here's what a binder looks like. You see here the calendar with notes and along the top are indexed tabs that contain subfolders into which you can ink or type text and save parts or whole websites like the example below.

You can see the multiple entries in my Student Led Conferences/Portfolios subfolder, many of which are actual clips of websites. Copying is one fast and easy step.

You can see that I inked and highlighted some of the clipped site's text.

Now this is way cool. I have a shoulder injury so I gathered information about the anatomy of the injured area and rehab exercises. With GoBinder, I have a rehab notebook right at my fingertips!Can you imagine the implications for classroom research!?! And, I even did a Professional Development afternoon for my teachers directly from GoBinder--no time wasted trying to research THEN create a PowerPoint presentation! Best of all, as teachers asked questions I was able to write notes directly onto the page during the presentation! Imagine having students use GoBinder to share their ongoing research, not only with an LCD projector but with a SmartBoard!
