Teacher Tool Spotlight: Symbaloo
Symbaloo is an awesome web-based program that organizes websites for you. Think of it as a color-coded filing system. You can organize your websites by color to aid in locating specific resources. You can also create multiple pages to help further your organization system. For example, you can create a Symbaloo page for your subject-matter resources and then create a separate Symbaloo page for frequently visited websites.
