We all know that feeling of being overwhelmed with 14 new websites and not a clue how to remember them. I've tried adding them to my favorites, but somehow my favorites keep disappearing into cyber space. When I find something I like on Twitter, I just click and add it to my Twitter favorites, or will email the link to myself. I also have a Microsoft Word document with 8 pages of websites. It's an organizational NIGHTMARE!
That's all changing, thanks to a new website I learned about recently--Symbaloo. This is the ultimate way to organize websites, and the best part is that it's visually appealing! Perfect for me!! I can organize the resources in different folders by adding new tabs at the top of the page. If you really want to be OCD about organizing, you can even color-code your resources!!
I love the idea of adding student websites to a Symbaloo account and adding it as your student's homepage. Brilliant!
Apparently I'm a little behind the ball game, because here's a 2010 article I found about SymbalooEdu--a definite must-read! I have a feeling I've only scratched the surface on this amazing educational (and personal) resource!
Well, I spent a long time making a student symbaloo only to find when you embed it in a website, it does not look the same or act the same.
