Do you Symbaloo?? I have been using Symbaloo as my homepage for a month or two, and I really love it. Symbaloo is a free social bookmarking tool, and it is an excellent organizational resource. On cloud-based Symbaloo, you can store all your digital resources. It looks like a grid, called a Webmix, and each tile links to a different website. Here is what my Symbaloo homepage looks like: It's very vaguely organized, with my school resources towards the top and my more fun resources towards the bottom. If you look at the top left, you can see that there are tabs. You can make as many Webmixes as you want; so far I have one for blogs and one homepage. There are so many great ways to use Symbaloo in the classroom. My favorite, while teaching technology, is to have the students make a Webmix with all the sites and tools that they will need in class. It saves a lot of time, allowing them to quickly find the link and get to the right place. While looking online for other great ways to use Symbaloo in the classroom, I found this article which says it all!

Having just completed third quarter at the high school, which means completing the junior research paper, I have started to look into technology that could make next year's research paper even easier. Diigo, a research and annotation tool, is one idea that I would like to try out with a willing English teacher. Click the button above to go to a website that explains how Diigo can be used in the classroom.
