8. Click on Edit.

It’s ready to modify now.

9. Go to Binder Settings (upper left side) and change your binder's name.


 * Each one of the domains has a tab - on this tab you will notice what that domain pertains to.

Each of the subtabs has performance indicators - along with what it takes to be distinguished in that area

and some suggestions for documentation.

You can also add subtabs by clicking +Subtab - using one subtab for each piece of evidence.

That way you can quickly glance and see what areas you have online documentation for.


 * To add anything to your binder you must remember to be in Edit mode.


 * If you want to add a picture of you and one of your students at an event - it could go under

2a Respect and Rapport or 2b Culture for Learning. Click on the subtab you want to put it under

and on the subtab you will notice a small arrow.

**Click on that and Add New Subtab - Label this 2a. This will create a small new subtab that you can

quickly glance at and see that you have evidence for that performance indicator.

Depending on what you want to add go to Add Content (upper left side) and determine what type of format

you want to use.


 * To upload a file - Click on Upload a File, then Browse. Find the file you want to add from your computer

and click Open. Then Upload. You can upload photos, documents, PowerPoints, etc.

When you click Add Content, you can change the text layout (see the bottom command) to the Title-Media template.

That way you can add a little text to the top of your photo or document to let your principal know

what he or she is looking at.

**There’s a LiveBinder Help tab, so you can look through it to customize the binder to suit your style.


 * When you are ready to share this with your principal, you will need to be in the Edit

monde. Click Binder Settings. Then Collaborators. Then Add. Then add in your principal

or assistant principal’s email address.


 * LiveBinders automatically saves every few seconds. If you want to save for peace of

mind, click Save (from the edit menu).

If you have questions don't forget to check the Livebinder Help tab.

Good Luck!!
