Symbaloo.com is a great, free service for sharing links with students. It allows you to place clickable tiles on a Jeopardy-style board. As its use around school has started to grow, I wanted an alternative to publishing each shortcut to the shared student desktop (we are a very Windows-centric environment). This led me to the Meta-Symbaloo - i.e. a Symbaloo for the whole school where each tile is a link to a Symbaloo for a specific grade or subject. This will help to clean up our desktop since there only needs to be one internet shortcut. Teachers can now easily share links to their classes by adding tiles to their own Symbaloo. Students can easily find the links with two clicks (Meta-Symbaloo + their class).
Here is a screencap of our Meta-Symbaloo:
