Share Ideas, Paper Free: Pinterest for Educators
Pinterest has definitely been a buzz word around Facebook, work, and social events lately. Everyone is following other people to get great ideas. I am probably one of the few that has yet to join the craze and start searching on Pinterest. However, as the school year is coming to an end and I will hopefully have a little more free time I need to start searching for ideas for my classroom next year. My roommate, who is also a middle level teacher, has mentioned several times that she has "pinned" ideas for next year. This seems to be a great place to search for ideas and keep them all in one place, much like out social bookmarking site.
I can't wait to find innovative ideas and hopefully share some of my ideas some day.
I've been on Pinterest for quite awhile now, and have found and pinned some excellent ideas for the classroom, along with great resources to use to help children succeed. I have to admit, however, that I have pinned a ton of ideas and haven't looked at any of them since! With the summer approaching maybe I'll have more time to actually look at my classroom pins and put some of them to use!
ReplyDeleteI am with you! I have been pinning like a madwoman knowing that summer is coming and I will be able to get things the way that I want for the next year. It can be so valauble for finding great teaching ideas!
ReplyDeleteI have never used Pinterest before, however I may have to with all of the resources they provide. I recently joined twitter and enjoy using it.
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat. Everyone is talking about it, and I have seen other teachers grab great ideas from it. I will take the time this summer to create an account and see what it is all about!
