How I Use It

I used this product in my 5th grade class to support student learning both inside and outside the classroom. Because you can develop your own "web-mixes", Symbaloo really gives you the opportunity to personalize learning. The tiles are so easy to assign as well as add and subtract from. Because my class had a mix of ELL and high-level English speakers, this was a GREAT tool for differentiation!! I also use this to bookmark all my own education websites! The only thing that take a bit of time is getting used to adding media/sites to the tiles; the print on the tiles can also be hard to see sometimes but that's pretty easy to fix by zooming in!

My Take

I really like this product because it's so much more than a bookmarking tool! I love that it can be really personalized and it saves you time by allowing you to copy web mixes as well as look for other similar web-mixes that are on a similar topic. Really this is a very versatile tool! You can use it for a web quest or even as a place to collect a series of support material for an exam. You can even get your students to create their own web mixes and that's when it gets really interesting!!

Great organizational tool!
