Symbaloo

First, congratulations to Stacy Chik for earning a morning beverage! :) Stacy used Pinterest to find quotes and images to make a reflection guide on the Eucharist that students took to the chapel during adoration. Thanks for trying Pinterest Stacy!

Second, our tech tip for this Tuesday is one that I have been using for a couple of weeks now and I am truly enjoying. The great part of being able to help with technology AND teach is that I get to try things out with my own classes as a trial one. 

This weeks tip is called Symbaloo. http://www.symbaloo.com/ It is an online bookmarking site. You can create different mixes to house different information. Once you have created a mix, you can either keep it private, only you can see it and use it OR you can share the webmix and Symbaloo will give you a link that you can post and then anyone can access the mix that you have created. Below are a couple of pictures of various mixes that I have created and shared.

This is a webmix of all of the Tech Tips that I have featured this year. You can find this link posted on the left side of this blog! http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/tuesdaytechtips

This is a webmix that I created for Creative Commons image and music searches for CC  http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/creativecommons1

This is an EASY way to organize a large amount of material or links in one place. You can create a mix for each book you read through the semester, or various images on a topic (just so you don't have to have 17 million tabs open during a lesson), or various tutorial videos posted for students to watch if they need extra help on a certain concept.

THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE --> Use Symbaloo to create either a personal webmix or a webmix that you create to share with your students. Post the link in the comments section or send an email with the link! See below for the reward...no limit on this week's reward! Looking forward to seeing all of the mixes!
