Last year when Google decided to end iGoogle, I wrote a post about Symbaloo. Thanks to a colleague of mine, I've decided to follow up on my original Symbaloo post. I continue to use Symbaloo as my organizer of web pages. I've continued to add frequently used sites to my Symbaloo webmix, and have added so many, that I know need 2 webmixes to contain them all.
Creating, deleting, and editing tiles and webmixes couldn't be any easier. I've set my own children up with a webmix of approved web pages they can visit.
Then today, when going through my Feedly (because Google ended Google Reader - see a trend here??) articles, one of my colleagues and good friends at Kentucky Education Television (KET) had not only created a Symbaloo webmix for Arts Integration, but she also published it, and it is now accessible to anyone who wants to add her webmix to theirs. With my expanded role this year leading our elementary library media specialists, this tool will be invaluable to me.
In fact, I feel inspired to create and publish a webmix of my favorite web tools for teachers and technology integration. With a new school year starting this week, this will be on my back burner for now, but watch for my shared webmix soon!
