Symbaloo

What do you do when you come across an interesting or useful site that you would like to keep and return to again next time? The most common way is to add it to your browser's 'Favourites' list ("Избранное"). This way has quite a lot of disadvantages: - as the list grows, it's hard to find the link you need; - you can't access your 'Favourites' list from another computer; - you keep adding great sites to your 'Favourites' but you hardly ever return to them because they are unsorted, there are too many of them, you have no time etc.; - when you have your operating system (Windows) reinstalled, all links get lost (unless you remember to move them from C:/ drive to a safer place)

Symbaloo  is a free online bookmarking tool that can help you organize your favourite sites, make them more visual, instantly access them from any computer with the Internet and keep them forever. Moreover, you can share your symbaloo webmixes with other teachers. I've been using Symbaloo for two years now and I highly recommend it to all teachers and their students. I'd also like to share my ready-made webmixes with you so that you have an ESL teacher's websites kit and don't waste your time on searching for those sites again and again. Watch the following videos about Symbaloo, sign up for your free account on @http://www.symbaloo.com/  and get the first webmix  that I've prepared - Resource sites for ESL teachers.  (as you open the link, press on 'Add this webmix' orange button.)
