Now that i'm all "techy", I need to organize all my websites! After learning and signing up for multiple multi-media sites like education games, tech information, sharing info, presentaion websites, picture pages, and many diferent url's I need a place to keep them all organized!
This week we learned about symbaloo, diigo, and pearltrees. I have started using the first two regularly to keep many of the new sites I have learned about organized. But whats even better about these sites is that they can be used personally, like I am now, but once I am a classroom teacher they could become your class organizer for websites. As a future teacher so many of these tricks/tips/tools are going to be beneficial.
With www.symbaloo.com you can use have your homepage set up with all the sites you frequently visit so they are a click away. As multimedia becomes increasingly used in the classroom this would be great for all students in the classroom to access! And, with smartboards being focal points in classrooms today it coud be on the smartboard at all times so its easy for yourself as a teacher or your students to navigate where they need to go.
www.diigo.com is another tool to organize and bookmark information that you want to keep track of or visit in the future. You can also tag the information on pages using diigo. This would also prove to be beneficial in the classroom as you are searching for many teaching tools or sites that students would be interested in.
Please check both of these out! The other site that we were shown was www.pearltrees.com. It is a visual organization that serves the same purpose as symbaloo.
