if you need to bookmark a site and want to have a copy of your bookmarked sites accessible from any computer- it's free and very easy to use.  LiveBinders is like having a 3-ring binder for the Web- collect your resources, organize them easily, present them to your students/colleagues.  Your students can access them from the laptops simply by going to the site and searching for your public binder by name, or by logging in with your information.  You can make your binders private or public.  There are hundreds already made that you may be able to use in your classroom (someone else has already done the work for you) - if it is public you can make a copy of it and save the binder in your account!
