1) Symbaloo provides a virtual platform that is visual and easy to see as the resources are displayed with graphics that almost look like apps. 
2) I was able to create a Webmix and label it PBL, so all the resources for this course will be in the same place and easy to find.   I also created a Webmix for math resources that I plan on sharing with my students this year.  I love that everything is in one place! 
3) I like that I can quickly add resources by copying and pasting the URL into the Webmix. This makes it quick and easy to use.

2.  I will be using Pinterest.  The following is the link to my board.: https://www.pinterest.com/joand13/jag/
3.  Advantages:
A. I like Pinterest because I will be able to keep all of my pins in the same place and I will be able to view them for inspiration and for motivation.
B. I also look forward to using Pinterest because it recommends new pins that go with the rest of my board to improve my teaching style.
C. Pinterest is also a great tool for me as my pins are all shareable with fellow JAG Specialists as well as fellow teachers. It is also very assessable as it is an app that is available on my smartphone.

2. Pinterest. My "PBL" pinboard is accessible at: https://www.pinterest.com/nina_english/pbl/
3. The advantages of using this tool: 
     a. I have previously used Pinterest extensively and already have several education pinboards. Some of my education boards are secret and shared with only a couple of teachers. These often include specific projects we created in the past. Some are open for anyone to see. Since the tool is so well-known, it's not difficult to connect with others, either through the site directly or in person while using the site as a bookmarking tool for various collaborations. 
When I want to share an idea or website through Pinterest, the 'share' button allows me to send that pin or a URL link through various pathways, such as email, text, Facebook messenger, Twitter, etc. That's helpful as I can send the info easily in the tool preferred by the person receiving.
     b. Pinterest is just as easy to navigate and use on my phone as on my laptop. On my laptop, I have enabled the Pinterest Google Extension that places a "pin it" button on the top of my browser. I don't even need to open the website to pin things I want to save. The more steps it takes to use a tool, the less likely I will use it. 
     c. When I have used other bookmarking tools in the past, I have noticed that I often have to click all the way through to the source to jog my memory of why I saved it. Often these tools use just the title or a generic image that shows up on my home page where I scan through my collection. As you save on Pinterest, however, you are given a set of images from the source and pre-written titles to choose between as the image that represents that source on your home page. Even years down the road, I can usually remember generally what that source included without clicking through. ]]> 2019-06-17 16:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/amsaffield/a538k4wiipws/wish/367956470
