Web 2.0 Tutorial
For this tutorial assignment we chose the website Live Binders. Live Binders is a website
that allows teachers and students to create an online 3-ring binder. Teachers can create binders
for students to submit their work. With this binder you can collect your resources, organize them
neatly and easily and make an impression.
Step 1: Open up your internet browser. After you open your browser you will need to type
http://www.livebinders.com in the address bar at the top of your screen and hit enter.
Step 2: After you have arrived at the desired website, you will need to create an account. Click
on the yellow tab in the middle of the screen that says “Sign up now – It’s free!”

2. Step 3: After the next page loads you will see a page like the one below. You will need to pick
a desired username, provide your email address, retype your email address, and choose a
password, and then retype your password. There will be options to receive notifications about
changes at LiveBinders and to be notified when people view your binders. You can click these
boxes if you choose. To complete the account process you will need to hit the “Sign up now- It’s
free!” button that is yellow.
Step 4: After you create an account you will be directed to your account homepage. On the left
hand side of the screen you will see a dashboard. To create a blank binder you will need to click
on the link that says “Start a Blank Binder”. It will be the first link under the dashboard.

3. Step 5: After you click “Start a Blank Binder” you will be directed to another page that says
“Create New Binder”. You will need to provide a desired name for your binder, a description of
the binder, if desired you can provide tags, the category of the binder, and if you want your
binder to be public or private. You will also need to make an “Access Key” you will give this
key to people when sharing your private binder. You will then click the button “ Create New
Binder”.

4. Step 6: You can also edit your binder the way you would like. At the top of the screen you can
select the “Edit Menu” button. You can also click on the sub link “Binder Properties”. In the
binder properties you can change your background color, set the default tab color, provide an
author name, and choose a color theme. Then you need to press the “update” button.
Step 7: You can also change the text layout of your binder. You can pick the desired template
and click save.

5. Step 8: You can also insert media into your binder. You can insert Flickr images, YouTube
videos, and delicious bookmarks. You can do this by clicking the find button and choose the
desired image.
Step 9: You can also edit your tabs in your binder by clicking the tabs sub link. You can add
tabs, add sub tabs, delete tabs, delete sub tabs, clear contents, set tab color, move your tabs right
or left or move sub tab to tab or vise versa.

6. Step 10: You can also upload files into your binder straight from your computer. You will need
to do this by hitting the browse button to search for the desired image on your computer. After
you have found the picture you will need to double click it, then hit the “upload” button. After
you have finished you will need to hit the “save” button in the upper right hand corner.
Step 11: You can also submit a comment onto the binder. You can provide a title for your
comment, and type your comment in the space that says “comment”. After you have finished
you will need to hit the “submit” button under the box.
Step 12: To add a new page in your binder. Type or copy/paste a URL in the “enter a URL”
box and click insert. Repeat this process to add more pages to your binder.
