Symbaloo‘Symbaloo’ is a Greek verb that stands for ‘assembling’ and serves an assembly dashboard for bookmarking frequently used Web2.0 tools. Users can personalize their own set of Web 2.0 tools as a carpenter would keep their tools in a tool box. Additional tabs can be created to formulate sub categories for tools that can include frequently used sites for mixing content, storing content or generating content. In the education world Symbaloo not only serves as a book mark for frequently used Web 2.0 tools but can serve as an assignment marker for created content. Symbaloo can also serve as a tool for helping students to stay organized. Each time a student is taught how to use a new Web 2.0 resource a student can post an interactive link to their symbaloo navigation board. (See Symbaloo User Guide)
