Here’s a very practical resource that I learned about from Vienna over at Teaching Students with Learning Difficulties. If you have any reason to put a set of visual links to websites or online activities on a single web page, this will be useful for you.

Sqworl enables you to create web pages where you can embed visual links to other web pages.  I don’t think the process could be any easier.  After you have registered and created your Sqworl account, you simply  log in, add a new “group” and paste the URL’s of the web pages that you want on your Sqworl page.

You are given a new URL for each Sqworl page that you have created. Links to Sqworl pages can  be shared conveniently from within Sqworl via email or your favorite social networking site such as Twitter or Facebook.

Sqworl enables you to create a home page for yourself, or for any learner that you are supporting.  The home page can contain the web pages that the user visits frequently.  Or, you may set up purpose-specific pages for any number of reasons.  These can be tailor made for specific individuals, or for perhaps for groups of learners.

The screen shot below shows a Sqworl page I’ve created with 6 science books from Tar Heel Reader.  Clicking on the screen shot will take you to the actual page where the links are live.
