Hack Jam Pittsburgh - Programming for Teens




















This looks like an awesome opportunity for teenagers to learn about how to create on the web by using programming code and other web tools.  The quote on the website says it all...


“The goal: help millions of people

move from using the web to making the web.”




Symbaloo









Since so many tools we use anymore are on the web, we also need a great place to organize and share websites.  There are many social bookmarking tools on the web, and one I have enjoyed using is Symbaloo.  Symbaloo has a great interface where each site is a button in a folder.  You can create different folders of sites, and you can share these folders with other friends connected to Symbaloo.  Symbaloo also offers a great EDU interface, so it is safe to use with your students as well.
