= = =Need help organizing? = Does your desk look like this? (This reporter probably can find ANYTHING on it.)

There are lots of Web 2.0 tools out there to help you organize all the information that you come across everyday. One of my favorites is LiveBinders, an online 3-hole binder similar to the notebooks I've kept over the years. They can also be great collaborative notebooks for your students to build either on a unit or a single topic.

I also rely daily on the icons on My Favorites bar to return to sites I regularly need. Having these at my fingertips saves me time and frustration in looking for that "one thing" while multitasking.
