Being the color-coded person I am, I love that you can set a color to group tiles by a theme. For example, in the screenshot above, I grouped all interactive video sites in orange, all collaborative idea mapping sites in blue, and so on. Another reason I love symbaloo is that you can use it for flipped lessons. I could embed a YouTube video as a tile to give students background knowledge on a topic. Then have 3 tiles that had articles I wanted students to read, then embed a google quiz as a tile.
I have symbaloo as the home screen on Chrome. It links to my work email, my 2 weebly sites, and then links to my other webmixes. I highly recommend becoming a symbalooEDU certified educator. It costs $10 for the basic certification, can be done in a few hours, and gives you great ideas for how to use it. That's how I got the idea to link all math curriculum on my math webmix and use picslice to have 1 photo cover all 6 tiles. |
