Organizing Yourself Online

Before my time in the Faculty of Education, I never really used any special tools to keep myself organized other than using the bookmark tool on whatever browser I was using.

I have come to see that being organized online is essential and actually saves you a lot of time when searching the web.

One of the new sites that I learned about through Internet for Educators is Diigo. I have never used this site but I can see the uses for it. It is similar to Pinterest but it organizes articles and shows summaries of them rather than pictures.

One of the best ways that I have found to organize yourself online is through using Symbaloo. What I love about Symbaloo is that you can embed it into a website. I think that it would be beneficial when you have students doing research or sharing resources. A student could email or tell the teacher about a website that they have found and the teacher could review it for reliability and then add it to the symbaloo on the class website. 

I currently use feedly for following blogs and I use Pinterest to keep track of teaching ideas.
