“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality." -Napoleon Hill
If you haven't heard of, or checked out Symbaloo yet, you should! This site is a fun, ORGANIZED way of online bookmarking. You could use this for personal use or for your classroom which is what I have done. I spent the first few weeks of summer transferring all of my student links over from Sqworl and could not be happier. I did love Sqworl at first, but then quickly realized that Symbaloo is much more organized and therefore will be easier for my students to navigate as well. I love how you can add icons, organize by color and organize by location on each "webmix." The great thing is being able to add a link whenever to my page and instantly updating on my classroom website.
Here is a link to my Symbaloo page for my students to use: http://www.symbaloo.com/shared/AAAAAgFD28cAA41_HBfXeQ==
Here is an introduction video to Symbaloo!
Oh Heather, I feel you're going to make me go through with switching. Ugh! While the organization of Symbaloo is cool I like the Sqworl bookmarklet for easy bookmarking. I don't see on Symbaloo that they have a bookmarklet. I may have to use both just for quick bookmarking and then organize later in Symbaloo. Or, I keep Symbaloo open all the time which is probably the intent!

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately there is not a bookmarklet for Symbaloo. What I do is save the link to my Symbaloo on my bookmark bar so it is essentially the same thing to me :) The organizing in symbaloo takes maybe 15-20 more seconds than Sqworl so it's not too bad. Hope this helps!
There is a bookmarklet for Symbaloo! I use it regularly.
