My Take
I love Symbaloo because it helps organize websites, documents, videos, and more. I can make multiple pages for different classrooms and topics. I know there is a paid option but I have never felt I needed to use that.
How I Use It
I use Symbaloo to gather all my resources in one place. I think of it as a more organized Pintrest page. Recently I created a page of Revolutionary War resources. I made tiles for each battle, famous person, events and more. These tiles included websites, links to documents, and videos. As my 4th graders do research they can go to the Symbaloo and know that the resources they find there are grade level appropriate.

All apps on a single page
I think Symbaloo is a beneficial tool for students in younger grades (K-4). Symbaloo can be a gateway into creating favorites. I think as students get older they will learn and understand how to add bookmarks to their search engine and use those more often than a Symbaloo page. Symbaloo is a good foundation to help students learn to navigate between internet sites.

Symbaloo, an online desktop with multiple educational uses
Symbaloo is a Web 2.0 tool used to store, organize, manage and distribute in a fun and easy way all digital resources in one place in the cloud.
It helps the process of curating content and the creation of online collaborative learning networks.
The learning achieved guarantees the equitable participation of the students, the simultaneous interaction between them and the self-regulation of that learning.
The activities and materials can be adapted to the needs of the students. You can access them from any device and place.
The students can later replicate the experiences and dynamics developed in their professional practice.

Just a Click Away
It is a great tool to help us gather websites that are appropriate for our students to use. It is free to set up an account so you don't have to worry about paying for it. There is a portion that does cost and you can look into what that has to offer. I have found this tool very beneficial in my teaching. I don't just use it in my teaching, but I have used it in workshops that I have presented at. My favorite part about Symbaloo is how easy it is to use. I don't have to waste time figuring out what to do. I highly recommend looking into the program.
