Curated Resources - Do you Symbaloo?

With all of these resources popping up everywhere, sometimes it is hard to keep up. Before I would rely on Google Chrome telling me what sites I was on in the past, but searching through your history is time consuming.

I have lost resources because I forgot all about them. In February, the eLearning specialist at my school had a challenge where we were to make a Symbaloo for one of our classes. I started one, and fell in love with it.

I have Symbaloo pages for all of my classes now. I also made a teacher page for myself. Every time I find a new tech tool I like, I add a tile to my Symbaloo page. They are all there, along with my professional development links as well. You can find mine at https://www.symbaloo.com/mix/teacherpage6. Other teachers, and companies create Symbaloos and share them with others.

 How Symbaloo works is that you just create a "tile" but copying and pasting a link in it. You can customize it by adding pictures and names to the tiles. Students can make their own as well when doing research.

Symbaloo is my homepage, it should be for every teacher.
