Symbaloo is a cool new way to collect and share websites for your students. All the websites that you use on a regular basis that you want or you want your students to have easy access to all collected in one convent and graphically appealing place. Below is a screen shot of what on of mine looks like. It's not much yet but I plan on adding more of the uploading art links throughout the year. Also as I find new cool resources for my students I can add it without them needing to update anything. They stay up to date as I modify my Symbaloo. Then all I is add the new site to my Symbaloo and the student then has access to it. No more trying to type out tinyurls or scanning qr codes I can just tell them to go to my Symbaloo and click on the link we want to access. Symbaloo also has an iPad app. So for all the schools that are 1:1, your students can access it with the iPad too.
Here is a video that better explains what this is. Making your own webmix is very easy and I am excited to use it with my students. Now rather than having my students bookmark different sites for my class they can just bookmark this one site which I can update and change as needed. You can also use this for yourself for all those sites that you go to often by setting this as your home page.
