Second Week

Hey folks welcome to my second blog. Today I am going to talk about a bookmarking tool which we learned about in our second week of class in Using ICT in education. The page is called Symbaloo. Symbaloo is a personal startup page which makes it easy to compile your favourite and most frequently visited sites all into one interface. I found this site very interesting not only as a potential classroom use but also for personal use as well. You are able to create different tabs and title them for what that page will be used for. One potential way I can see myself using this as a tool in the classroom are sharing websites with students and parents. Symbaloo can be especially useful in helping manage class time by quickly directing them to the proper site with one click of a button or setting up the options for sites they are aloud to play educational games on. Some other ways I can use this page as a teacher in the future are professional development, digital portfolios and curriculum outlines. If you haven't tried Symbaloo you should definitely take a look around as its one of the best book marking page setups I have seen to date. Well thats all for this blog catch you next week.
