Visual Bookmarking Sites: Tizmos and SymbalooEdu
The two resources below are great for establishing a class site of important bookmarks. This will help you to direct students to important websites much faster, and will allow for students to access important links outside of class through one website. Tizmos is more elementary-geared, while SymbalooEDU is great for both elementary and secondary.
Share websites & videos with your class using student-friendly visual bookmarks. Many teachers use this website for both a "dashboard" and starting point for in-class computer time and well as an outside of class enrichment opportunity.
There is a free account option which allows you to add 1 folder and up to 30 bookmarks. There are other paid options for those who wish to add more than this.
Example: PreK-2 Links

Your resources will be available to you on any internet-connected device.
