Since computers have become so important in our classrooms, we need to make sure we are using them to the best of our ability. We as teachers need to teach our students how to keep data organized. One of the ways that I have learned through this class is to use Symbaloo. Symbaloo is a collection of links around a specific subject. It basically takes our favorites and puts them all in one place.
The nice thing about Symbaloo is that you can create as many of them as you need. You may have one on cell research, math or language information, or one on your favorite stories. It is a perfect way to keep your data organized. I would also suggest that you make it your homepage, this would insure that you always have your data close by.
I would suggest to Susie at the beginning of the year to make a separate symbaloo for each of her subjects. This would give her the ability to store her favorites, at any time, in any subject. If she would have a specific unit she was working on, she could also make another symbaloo to go along with that unit.
