Symbaloo is super helpful to teachers and students because it's an easily accessible homepage that navigates to frequently used web pages that you choose. If you are a teacher you may want it to access your campus home page, district home page, Skyward, Pinterest, your email, or other websites that you use on a day to day basis. A teacher might use this in a classroom for their students to make it easier for the students to find so they don't waste time searching for a website or an online activity and its already linked and ready to go thanks to Symbaloo and it can be used for any subject or activity!
