Yesterday I wrote about a start page that offers visual links to favourite websites.  Thanks to a comment by Larry Ferlazzo, I’m writing today about an alternative that seems to be even better.  In many respects, this post will read the same as my previous post.

Tizmos is another start page that lets you set visual thumbnail icons for links to frequently visited websites.  Once you’ve registered and set it up, you have a start page that you can log in to from any computer.  A teacher or parent of early learners can create a custom start page for each child.  This might also be a great option for learners with developmental delays.  Of course, most of us relate much better to visual symbols than to lists of text.

With Tizmos, you can choose the size of the thumbnails that represent websites–small, medium or large. It does not appear as though there is any limit to the number of websites that can be linked. with Tizmos.  Your Tizmos page can be either private or public.  Tizmos is extremely easy to use, and help is available. on the site  The screenshot below shows what Tizmos looks like with 4 medium sized thumbnails.
