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 ‘</span><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><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">’ which explained how to create a Symbaloo mix.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/profile/kinderchat">http://www.symbaloo.com/profile/kinderchat</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On this site you’ll find great selections of free e-books, online stories, songs etc.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">1) National Geographic e-books</span><br /><a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/natgeobooks">http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/natgeobooks</a></span></b><br /><b><br /></b><a href="http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/natgeobooks"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><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;
