Discovering Webmixes on Symbaloo

Many teachers know they can collect and share web links by creating their own Symbaloos, but many aren't familiar with the capability to browse and add public webmixes created by other teachers. Here's how to do it:

Click the icon on the left of the screen to open the menu, then choose Gallery.

From the gallery, you can search for a specific topic in the search bar, or browse through the pages of public webmixes.





Once you find a webmix you want to add, select Add this webmix.



The new webmix will appear as a tab on your Symbaloo page. If you have a webmix embedded on a school website, you will want to add that webmix as a tile. Find the URL address of the public webmix and add it as a tile.

Click the share button, then webmix details. Highlight and copy the URL address of this webmix.


Now add a new tile to your webmix and paste the address. Choose an icon to represent the topic of the webmix and add text to describe it.


The public webmix you discovered now appears on your webmix as a tile.
