Hi, I have a question. The Basic and Premium Symbaloo Certification is an exam or is a course? Thanks.
Hi Rafael,
Thank you for inquiring about the certification programs. They are courses that contain exams and assignments with a final exam that you have to pass in order to be certified. Let me know if this helps to answer your question or if you would like to know more email us at edu[at]symbaloo[dot]com.

How is the content delivered?
Access to the content is delivered via email after you have signed up. Are you having issues? If you have already signed up please check your spam inbox and if you still cannot find the email please email us: edu [at] symbaloo [dot] com
About how many hours is the certification? I will be teaching library/tech next year, and am quite interested in this for use with my students. Thanks!!
Hi Katie,
It really varies on the level of expertise. If you are familiar with our system and other web 2.0 tools then you should be able to complete the basic certification in a couple of hours and the professional development certification will take a little bit longer maybe between 5-10 hours. Thanks for inquiring and let me know if which you are interested in and I can get you all set up.
Kind regards,
Kimmie

Quick question about assignment 2 in the certification webmix. I am unable to locate the news webmix that is required. Has the name of the webmix changed? When I search as instructed there are 3 webmixes as was said in the assignment video, but the only webmix that comes close is titled differently and only has 4 users. Please advise…
If you search for ‘educational news’ the webmix should show up, let me know if you still have trouble. We are in the process of updated so this should be more clear in the future, all your feedback is very much appreciated!
Signed up and paid to get basic Symbaloo certification and have not received any information in my email yet. I checked the spam and that was not the issue.

I just passed the certification and was offered a $10 savings on the PD cert. The link to that isn’t working and I see the full price. Is this something that has been deleted or just not working?
Thanks,

Hi!
I took your certification course and I’m listed in the Symbaloo certified Canada users page. Do I need to take the basic certification? I am Chief Education Officer at Sublime Learning. I’m excited to use and share Symbaloo as I think it is as tool that will integrate seamlessly with our products.
Please let me know if I need to take both courses (not a problem) or just the Professional Development Certification. Thanks. Kendra
Hi Kendra!
That is exciting to hear that you are using Symbaloo at your school and it’s working well with your system. To answer your question, there is the Basic Certification which entails a list of training for you to become an expert on using Symbaloo. When you purchase the Professional Development Certification, that will include both the Basic Certification AND the PD. Which will show educators how to incorporate the latest web 2.0 tools along with social media according to their grade levels. We would recommend for you to sign up for the PD Certification and to be trained on both of our Certification. Please email us at edu@symbaloo.com if you have any other questions.
Sincerely,
Mimi

Please let me know the next steps.
