Symbaloo Terminology
New to Symbaloo? Below are key terms to help you understand how everything fits together on the platform:
🔹 Tiles
Tiles are the individual blocks (or squares) you see on a Webmix. Each Tile can link to various types of content:
- Websites (URLs)
- Videos
- Documents (PDF, Google Docs, etc.)
- Widgets or tools
- RSS Feeds
- Other Webmixes or embedded content
🔸 Webmixes
A Webmix is a grid-based layout that holds a collection of Tiles. You can think of it like a dashboard for organizing your resources by topic or theme.
There are two types:
- Standard Webmix: Includes regular Tiles (websites, files, videos, etc.)
- RSS Webmix: Displays live content pulled from news or blog feeds
🌐 Webspaces
Webspaces are optional upgrades to standard Symbaloo accounts. A Webspace gives you a custom, branded domain (like yourname.symbaloo.com), designed to make it easier to:
- Distribute content
- Centralize access to your Webmixes
- Maintain a consistent, shareable URL for your audience
Webspaces are especially helpful for schools, organizations, and content creators who need to manage and share multiple Webmixes in one place.
