As the school year progresses, it may become more and more difficult to keep track of all of the websites we use and for you to stay organized. It is with that in mind that you may want to consider creating a Symbaloo account & page where you can easily bookmark all of the sites that we or you will frequently use.
Create a Symbaloo
Create a Symbaloo. Symbaloo is a bookmarking site that allows you to bookmark websites and then access them from anywhere. I have created a number of websites to supplement our class and it is important that you keep them bookmarked so that you can find them easily.
Go to the website https://www.symbaloo.com/welcome and create a free account.
Then watch the tutorial video on how to add bookmarks to your page.
Once you have created your Symbaloo account: Delete all of the preset tiles that are there so that they are all blank. Then you will need to bookmark the following sites. You can simply copy and paste the links listed below to your symbaloo tiles.
Websites that you may want to add to your Symbaloo
AP U.S. History Shared Google Class Folder:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12TiJnEio1qOu7eXLrfzCLc8OhOSVVKl3
National College Board website:
Heimler's History
https://www.youtube.com/@heimlershistory/featured
AP U.S. Slides
(Website where there are videos of our class presentations)
Suggested Links to Add:
A Link to Your AP U.S. History Class Drive Folder
A Link to our AP U.S. Google Classroom
When I turn on my computer, I always open my Symbaloo page first. From there I will then click on the links to the pages I need since most of the pages I use, are on my Symbaloo. You may want to do this too. This will help you to access the pages that we will frequently use and save you time from having to type in the URL or trying to find it through a quick Google Search. If you do that, you may also want to add links to your AP U.S. History Google Folder that you created yesterday and add the link to the School District's home page:
In the coming days, or over the course of the school year, I may also provide you with additional links to add to your Symbaloo account so that you can access them easier.
If when creating your symbaloo tile, if no picture is available you can just chose a color. On my example I uploaded my own pictures for some and just stuck with plain colors for others. You do not have to upload pictures if you do not want to. HOWEVER, you may want to add or edit the tile's name so you know what specific website it will link you to. See my example below:
