Methodology of using the resource/ tool

Symbaloo is a cloud-based site that allows users to organize and categorize web links in the form of buttons. Symbaloo works from a web browser and can be configured as a homepage, allowing users to create a personalized virtual desktop accessible from any device with an Internet connection.

Symbaloo users, which must be previously registered, have a page with a grid of buttons that can be configured to link to a specific page. The site allows users to assign different colors to the buttons for easy visual classification.

Symbaloo allows a single user to create different pages or screens with buttons. These screens called webmix are useful to separate topics and links can be shared with other users, making them public and sending the link via email. As of 2015 Symbaloo has 6 million users worldwide and mainly used as an online education resource. Symbaloo’s slogan is “Start Simple”

• You can create your own webmix where you can share the different links you consider, related to a didactic unit, a specific subject or any other topic you need.
• You can also create a Learning Path, a series of links presented in the form of a platform game in which you move from one box to another as your learning progresses.
• Participants can share their webmixes or their Symbaloo Learning Paths.
• It can be used as a simple static repository or make it more dynamic and change the boxes as the course progresses.
• It is possible to use webmixes already designed by others, as well as to modify those boards to suit what you want to work on.
