He shares amazing ideas for the Foundation Phase classroom on his blog.   Through him I was introduced to the potential of using Symbaloo in the classroom. Last year I wrote a post entitled ‘<a href="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2013/01/what-is-symbaloo-symbaloo-is-great-free.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Get to know Symbaloo as a bookmarking or curation tool</a>’ which explained how to create a Symbaloo mix. In this post I want to highlight some of my favourite Symbaloo mixes for Foundation Phase learners. I found these wonderful Symbaloo collections on the Kinderchat Symbaloo webmix site.  <a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/profile/kinderchat">http://www.symbaloo.com/profile/kinderchat</a>. On this site you’ll find great selections of free e-books, online stories, songs etc. Just click on the image (or the link) below to be taken to the actual mix where you can listen to or watch the various media. 1) National Geographic e-books <a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/natgeobooks">http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/natgeobooks</a> <a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/natgeobooks"><img alt="image" border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDQEJ0H4Jb56at4Txzz7adX-UQmoyMHdACuv6VkvfnQUs59vVGZ_xzPuCZlaz3_vgvmb2tsWGSTvdAeSRSCgXnXR7qZQh6y2QLyGY9F3x9MILdUlO0GYkUefr07yTRI5fiaxPUOO-BWB0/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a> 2) Online stories <a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/bnonlinestorytime">http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/bnonlinestorytime</a> <a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/bnonlinestorytime"><img alt="image" border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAJMr1BE6L9d6IvYB9PtHCTp7ZBud0BinVoNb3EsnycIKEYHuh2y2neNsujOqzcIP8b3Cbv5XU4LRVF5N_yYFlPved8WpPYVVKqaIo0uItfmi9IdXdTk_nM6b1ZaVySpOcJuN5kkeaij4/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a> 3) Sesame Street popular videos <a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/sesamestreet">http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/sesamestreet</a> <a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/sesamestreet"><img alt="image" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrpEmz3rwWXAkyAVOerKF9MKk6GWXQ-GOcOh-FAZumiXV9zLBf0IrUXFQMFpg-cZ_rcQD8_-4wnytYvlHlnqaadeHFxGnuT166XfSM7OFQmxsj77n9Dd-7i-_-5cAOL4d3KuvWvxL7eHY/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a> 4)  Letter sounds <a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/storybotslettersounds">http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/storybotslettersounds</a> <a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/storybotslettersounds"><img alt="image" border="0" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0QjdjCVNKVBEHn_8twX8NpRfDBudI56TE0m1iAorpETkWsPZC5Ihq_yH6BhFLbReywLt7S_XzGWupqh8VPlDbnzIQEV3Q4Z_J82O1uTPc6Q3oaUfslwIvbUiaSKMFBtRgzyLyhRlipAc/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a> Uses for Symbaloo in the classroom 1) You can find out what other Symbaloo users are doing and learn from them using the easy Share and Gallery options. 2) You can create a starter page of Intenet sites for your students to use on a project – or your students can create their own. 3) Symbaloo opens its tiles in a new window so that the original always remains as a reference point. It can be used really well with webquests. 4) As a teacher you can save your favourite tools so that they are always handy for you to use. 5) You can use it an Index post for a number of blog posts you have created around a topic. 6) I love the way this teacher uses Symbaloo in his kindergarden class. <a href="http://mattbgomez.com/just-dance-video-webmix/">http://mattbgomez.com/just-dance-video-webmix/</a> 7) Listen to this Grade 7 student from the post <a href="http://fishingforedtech.com/2012/03/01/4-ways-to-use-symbalooedu/">http://fishingforedtech.com/2012/03/01/4-ways-to-use-symbalooedu/</a> showing what she does with Symbaloo <a href="http://fishingforedtech.com/2012/03/01/4-ways-to-use-symbalooedu/" title="http://fishingforedtech.com/2012/03/01/4-ways-to-use-symbalooedu/">http://fishingforedtech.com/2012/03/01/4-ways-to-use-symbalooedu/</a> showing what she does using Symbaloo <iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YEls3tq5wIY" width="420"></iframe> </div>

Symbaloo is a great free tool you can use to create multiple tables or tiles to organise web links of one sort or another. It thus becomes a visual curation tool or a visual bookmarking tool. Symbaloo can be found at <a href="http://www.symbalooedu.com/" title="http://www.symbalooedu.com/">http://www.symbalooedu.com/</a> if you are a teacher. by joining here you can enrol your students as well. Symbaloo creates ‘webmixes’ which are basically a collection of your bookmarks. It also has already created tiles of popular websites so that if you want to use those to save time they are there for you. My webmix I decided to create a Symbaloo to use as an index page for 30 posts I had created on our SchoolNet blog under the headings of “30 Days of Webtools #1…” etc. Here is a Slideshare of the process outlining the steps I used. <iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="356" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" scrolling="no" src="http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/15917146" style="border-bottom: #ccc 0px solid; border-left: #ccc 1px solid; border-right: #ccc 1px solid; border-top: #ccc 1px solid; margin-bottom: 5px;" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="427"> </iframe> <div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal/get-started-with-symbaloo" target="_blank" title="Get started with Symbaloo">Get started with Symbaloo</a> from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal" target="_blank">Fiona Beal</a> </div> Here is my completed Symbaloo This is my completed Symbaloo.

30 Days of Web Tools #29: Index...using Symbaloo

1:42 PM Tukiyooo 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div>Submitted by Fiona Beal</div>Recently on this blog we posted a series called '30 days of webtools' with a daily post featuring a different webtool that can be used successfully in the classroom. I thought that an Index post would be fitting for this series for easier navigation to a desired tool; and instead of the usual type of index post I decided to use <a href="http://www.symbalooedu.com/" target="_blank">SymbalooEDU</a>.  This is a very useful curation or bookmarking tool.  So, if you would like to access the different webtools used in that series just click on the image below and you will be taken to the alphabetically arranged webmix which is hosted at SymbalooEDU. You will be able to click on each block and be taken to the original post.  <div> </div><div>There is still quite a lot about Symbaloo that I don't fully understand but in the next blog post I will outline how I went about using it for the webmix below. </div><div> <div style="text-align: left;">                 30 Days of Webtools index <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://edu.symbaloo.com/mix/30daysofwebtools" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMreClcw1TgPeylZv8DQPCcwqwmx6BwyDqqbqu_02fNXxLR06cIarwjoeJSQoovt6YcqIC0-pCs8zRS1LpVRE9Dg02aAFN0e_ZpdxHb_WZc0J5MhuKCVIJAOxk1mZnYnOJuEHzCfTP7as/s400/symbaloo4.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://edu.symbaloo.com/mix/30daysofwebtools" target="_blank">Click on this image to be taken to the webmix</a></td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div></div></div>
