Don't like typing out lengthy URL addresses to visit your favorite websites? Exhausted from helping students correctly type URL addresses? With Symbaloo, a cloud based visual bookmark organizer, you'll no longer need to type a website's address to access it. Symbaloo allows users to easily organize bookmarks with images users click to visit websites.
Create a Symbaloo to use as your homepage and bookmark your favorite websites for easy access. And don't worry - you'll still be able to quickly complete Google searches, since the center of your Symbaloo will be a search bar. (Don't like Google? No worries - you can set your Symbaloo to search bing or Yahoo! instead.) Your Symbaloo is stored on the cloud, which means you can access it any time from any device and you don't need to worry about it being deleted.
Because you can create (or follow) as many Symbaloos as you like, you will be able to create webmixes (Symbaloo's name for their unique visual bookmark pages) for your students as well as for yourself. You can create a Symbaloo of websites your students frequently use and embed it onto your blog or Haiku. You can create a Symbaloo for a specific project. You can follow a Symbaloo of technology resources or educational resources, etc.
