Symbaloo Seriously Rocks!

I learned about Symbaloo last year, but I dismissed it as a useful tool at first.  At the time, I thought it would only be beneficial to my students and I was told that they couldn't access my Symbaloo without using my login.  Well all of that was completely wrong!  I have always been anti-bookmarking because I would forget what I had bookmarked and absolutely never go back and revisit them!  I hated that they were just in a long list with no pictures.  I soon learned that Symbaloo is like bookmarking for rockstars! I started using it every day as a time saver to access websites that I frequently use.  I also love it because it's a constant visual reminder and I find myself using online resources I would have otherwise used once and forgotten about!  Now I keep going back to those good resources and finding more things to enhance my teaching and I love it!  I thought SYmbaloo was pretty easy and straightforward, but I've realized there's a lot more things it's capable of that I didn't know about.  Another educator shared this amazing Symbaloo webmix with me.   Even if you've been using Symbaloo for awhile, I'd almost guarantee you'll find something new in these tutorials: http://tutorials.symbaloo.com/home/mix/tuesdaytutorial  One thing I love, for example, is the color coding abilities!  I haven't had time to play with this much yet, but I've started sorting my tiles by color.  For instance, I can make all the games having to do with telling time in red, then I can just tell my kids to choose only from the red tiles when I'm teaching the time unit in Math.  It's much easier than saying only click on the ones that say this or that.  The simpler you can be with young kids, the better!  I hope others are seeing the usefulness of Symbaloo like I have!
