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  (Google Docs, Sheets, 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. Think of it as 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.
