Getting Organized with Symbaloo....

There are many tools that can help you stay organized. One tool I really like to use to organize and share resources with my students is Symbaloo. Symbaloo is an online social bookmarking tool. There is a education version and a regular version. I have been using the regular version for at least 4 years. I like that it represents a board. For my kids that is very visual and easy to use rather than just a list on a page.

Symbaloo is really easy to use. If you can copy and paste you can create tiles on a Symbaloo board. So for my second challenge I would like you to create a Symbaloo board of your choice. If you do not have an account you will need to create one. It could be a SymbalooEdu account or a regular account.

Listen to my podcast on Rembarkable Chatter and learn more about Symbaloo and how you can use it to get organized.

Below is a video clip explaining Symbaloo and how to create a board:

Once you have created your account you will create your 1st Symbaloo board. On this board you will be saving websites or resources of your choice. The boards I share with students are links to their work. For example my 8th grade computer apps classes create shareable technology flashcards. I collect these flashcards and pin (save) them to a Symbaloo board. I do this so that all of their flashcards are all in one place and everyone can have access to them. With my Symbaloo board I can embed the board directly on my website, Edmodo group, or share the link.

After have created your 1st Symbaloo board you will need to share it with me. Use the hashtag #TechieEdu and tweet out your webmix / Symbaloo Board.

I also encourage you to visit the Symbaloo Gallary. You may find a board that is already built that will fit your needs.

Some Symbaloo Board Ideas:

Guided access in a computer lab. - Make the board the computer lab's home screen.
Stored resources for a certain topic. - Save all of the video clips, web resources, Google Docs, and etc... for a topic for example Ancient Egypt on one board.
A Conference Board - Create a board and save all of the online content from a conference to it.
A Project Board - Save all the resources for a certain project to a board.
A Showcase Board - Save student work to a board and show it off during a parent night.

Diary of the Techie Chick - The Podcast....

I am excited to announce that I now have a podcast. My goal for this podcast is to share some tips, tricks, apps, anything and everything related to the topic of tech ed. Integrating technology into the classroom can be a little overwhelming. The 1st question most people have is where do you even begin? My answer is to start simple and start with 1 tool. As part of my Diary of a Techie Chick - the Podcast I will offer a new challenge to help you learn about the variety of tools you can add to your toolbox. I will be using the hashtag #TechieEdu to share the challenges.

You can find my podcast on the Remarkable Chatter, the Essdack Broadcasting Network website. You can play it, download it, or even subscribe to it in iTunes. My goal is to have a new podcast and challenge ever other week, so keep tuned.

Ring in the New Year with EdTech & More ...

2015 is going to be the year of possibilities and much more. With that thought in mind I revamped my personal website www.katieannwilson.com. My goal is to bring all of my talents from creating interactive lessons, augmented reality, digital storytelling, to a trainer, presenter, and speaker all in one place. I've even included a resource section were I've placed interactive activities, printable activities, even web & app tools I use. I love to create and I love to show others how to create even more. I would love to come to your school and help you bring learning to life.

2015 will also be a year for new ways for me to share EdTech with fellow educators. I will be hosting an EdTech podcast this year. The podcast will be an informal conversations about big ideas in EdTech. I plan on sharing EdTech and ways to incorporate it into the classroom. There will be guests, tips, and much more so keep your eye on Remarkable Chatter for my podcast "Podcast of a Techie Chick" or "Diary of a Techie Chick - the Podcast", I can't decide on a name. If you would like to be a guest on my podcast and talk about EdTech feel free to contact me.
