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.
