Teach Techy Now!: I know you Pinterest, but do you Symbaloo?

I know you Pinterest, but do you Symbaloo?

You know that pinterest helps you save all those amazing links for that DIY project, that delicious desert, and keeps all our classroom needs separated by different boards. It's a great way to keep track of those thousands of websites we want to remember. Symbaloo, is similar, but even better for our students.

Symbaloo is an AMAZING book marking tool and it is FREE! You get to create a webmix of links and Symbaloo will generate a link to share either publicly or privately (your choice). Anyone who has that link will automatically get any updates you make on your Symbaloo page.

So how on Earth could Symbaloo be used in the classroom???

Keeps websites at your student's fingertips in a colorful and bright way and has AUTOMATIC UPDATES
You can easily control what websites are available to your students and these websites are ALWAYS available to them - even at home!
You could make a different webmix for each unit or month or class to keep you and your students organized.
