Symbaloo-OOO-OOOO

In addition to updating the blog, I've also updated Symbaloo.  This is the spot where I share great websites in a "favorites" sort of fashion.  I encourage teachers to set up their own symbaloo and even create webmixes by topic for students to access.  For example, a teacher might be teaching about the civil war and create a webmix that has links to different civil war sources.  These can be shared with grade level teams and teachers can take turns creating them and sharing them. Or it could even be used as a home screen on your classroom computers for students to access sites that you have chosen as appropriate.

Here is the link to a symbaloo I use and update for professional learning at our school.  Hope it is useful to you or at least inspires you to create your own.

It's summertime, but that doesn't have to hold you back from doing a little learning.  Maybe you can even catch a video by the pool with a poolside cold beverage. No matter what, you'll have some great options at this site. 

TCRWP has been gracious enough to provide free videos for you to see those common core standards being taught in action.  Click below to check it out!
