Visual Bookmarking for Kids
Tizmos launched in 2007 as the first visual bookmarking site of its kind. Tizmos pioneered the process of capturing visual images of websites so members can access their bookmarks on any computer. Close to 2011, we discovered a growing community of teachers that used Tizmos with young students for its simplicity & friendlyness. From that point on, we decided to tailor for our teachers with education-specific features.
