Building a toolkit (LC Submission 3 - Module 6)

...the struggle is real

A quick search of "full brain" in Google Images turned up countless images depicting this "full brain" syndrome. Yes, the struggle is real for many.

My goal is to build a vibrant and welcoming Library Learning Commons Community. What I am hearing from many colleagues is this "full brain" syndrome and feeling overwhelmed in keeping track of all the information.

Wouldn't on-line searching be easier if
everything were only "three clicks" away?

A large aspect of building this community is to provide a space to collect and share resources that others can access in a user friendly, organized platform that require only "three clicks" to access. I have watched many people (myself included) Google the same site repeatedly.

In looking for the most effective way of doing this, I hope that Symbaloo will help. I have set up a Symbaloo account and have started creating Webmix pages to share. My initial "Start" page includes links very specific to the LLC where I currently work. I have included general links to BC curriculum documents. There are also links to several great sites for teachers, including many of the amazing apps available in the Google suite:

Quealey Resources Symbaloo Start

Symbaloo certainly does appear to be a great resource, however, I do worry that I will lose all the "webmixes" I have created. I'm crossing my fingers that all will be safe. It seems that until I go to Symbaloo Pro, I will have to share each Webmix I create separately.
Here is a WebMix of E-Books, which might be helpful, especially since many of them are also available in French:

Quealey Resources Symbaloo E-Books

There are many AbEd resources available, I have started to collect helpful links here:

Quealey Resources Symbaloo AbEd

I have created a page of Mediasmart links:

Quealey Resources Symbaloo MediaSmarts 

I am always on the look out for French Resources:

Quealey resources Symbaloo French

Breaking down the Webmix into resources specific to Middle School:

Quealey Resources Symbaloo Middle School

and those specific to elementary:

Quealey Resources Symbaloo Elementary

Last, but by no means least...Math Resources:

Quealey Resources Symbaloo Math



I am hoping others may be able to make use of these Webmix pages and even start creating their own using Symbaloo.
