Yesterday I had a presentation in front 150 plus educators. Thankfully, I am used to this but it is so hard to tailor a presentation to that size.

I got a chuckle this morning when I read in the AVON catalogue…

ITEM: FOXY FEDORA “One Size Fits Most.”

I laughed at the disclaimer…sort of a promise without the committment.

That’s exactly how I felt yesterday. I hoped that each teacher found something that helped them with their language arts program. But like anything there will be some people that leave frustrated that it was too much for them to take in or…too little.

So I guess, that’s where LiveBinders come in.

Is it possible that “One LiveBinder can fit ALL?”

YES!

Those nifty little tabs make it easy to differentiate. For example, if the topic was bears. Isn’t it possible that bears would be the general tab with pertinent information about a project. Then, the subtabs could provide the options based on ability or choice of modality.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm …..I think I have hit on something.

Cause you definitely don’t want this!

Until Next Time,

As you know I have been LiveBinder-ing for a few weeks. I am now pondering my next steps…

I got to thinking about Carrie Bradshaw, a character from Sex in the City…

Seriously..Lit Maven??

Stay with me…this will all make sense…

She writes a column about relationships. I got to thinking… Never, in any of the episodes do her friends really comment on her column. These are her close friends…her BFF’s or what have you…

Don’t they care what she does? Does it matter?

When you write or blog, who do you write for?

In my case, I have gotten over the fact that my friends might never read my blog. Even though the content pertains to them. Carrie’s friends were always talking about relationships but never used her articles to help themselves.

I realize that I write for others. Others that I might never meet in person, others that seem to enjoy what I write.

So create a LiveBinder!

Your friends may not care…your day-to-day colleagues may not care..but someone else is sure too.

Audiences are no longer just arms-reach or a horse ride away..(or car…just trying to be hysterically, historical)

We create because we have a fire, a need to share.

SO, please create! There is someone out that cares about that part of you.

And Carrie would agree, LiveBinders are much better than post-its!

Until Next Time,
