"That's all changing, thanks to a new website I learned about recently--Symbaloo. This is the ultimate way to organize websites, and the best part is that it's visually appealing! Perfect for me!! I can organize the resources in different folders by adding new tabs at the top of the page. If you really want to be OCD about organizing, you can even color-code your resources!!"

RETRIEVR
Another blast from pickings past, retrievr is an experimental image search tool that uses color recognition to retrieve Flickr images that reflect the spatial color arrangement of a digital sketch you draw on a canvas.
We first featured Cooliris nearly three years ago, when it was still called PicLens. This fantastic free browser plugin offers an image search interface like no other. It works on the expected image search platforms - Google, Flickr, etc. - but we particularly like its use on Facebook, where the native image browsing is lacking at best.
I am a Canadian teacher who has been working in El Salvador since 1994. I currently teach ICT as well as run the new Learning Resources Centre. Our staff and students have taken to web 2.0 in a big way and we hope to continue expanding our digital toolboxes.
