Do another search on a different topic (our search is “rap”) And it turned up a wide variety of different pages, and one is a great example for a classroom, by a 3rd grade teacher (Miss Reicks 3rd Grade Mix)
You may have already noticed the different country flags by the names of some of these remixes, and that they are in foreign languages. This program is being used around the world. Our third search (“sports”) brings up Dangerous Sports, Sports Blogs, Sports news, Top College Sports teams and over 4000 others. Now that you have done some research on the possibilities, click on the symbaloo symbol on the top of the page and begin by creating your own free account.
Start by creating a free account (password and email are required)

• Type in the URL to a favorite site.
• Type in a name for your tile and click the box to show the text.
• Select a background color for your tile, or you can upload your own image.

Now you have your first tile. You can drag it to any location on your board, and add more of your favorites to your page. You can also choose an icon or image from their graphics, badges, stickers, etc. The camera image is from their sticker collection.
Add to your chart as you find new and great resources, and add new tabbed pages for different area of interest.
Note: If you want to follow a page with a “feed” such as news site, radio station, or embed a video you can select that when you add a new tile.
