    What is SymbalooEDU?

    SymbalooEDU is a tool intended to help educators improve their offerings to students. It was
    created as a companion application to the original Symbaloo visual bookmarking and sharing
    tool. The application acts as a personal learning environment. Educators can create a library of
    relevant resources and organize them in a single location. SymbalooEDU also allows educators
    to encourage student to student interaction in an online setting. The system works by allowing
    the user to quickly add a resource in the form of a tile on the user’s web mix (their grid of tiles).
    The SymbalooEDU web mix can be shared with others, which makes it a capable tool for
    educators. Students and teachers can add URLs or even add a link to a completed project.
    SymbalooEDU also encourages students to practice communicating and browsing online. The
    system is very easy to learn and can be applied to almost any type of learning situation.

    5. When you first log in you will see some pre-created WebMixes. Click on the tabs and explore
    them. You can also search for already created WebMixes. Click on the magnifying glass, change
    the dropdown from TILES to WEBMIX, enter a search term - for example: elementary math. You

    6. If you would like to save one of the WebMixes as one of your own, click on the SAVE THIS
    WEBMIX button. It will now appear as a tab on your home screen that lists all your WebMixes.

    deleted from your group.

    to appear of the tile – if so check the tick box. Now choose your text color, tile color and icon. If
    you want you can upload your own image although as a beginner you may want to hold off on
    this process because you will need a pre-created bank of images for each website. It is
    suggested that when choosing tile colors you may want to be consistent. All blue for math,
    green for science sites, orange for social studies sites etc.
    11. Be sure to click the SAVE button you save your tile and have it appear on your WebMix
