Pinterest


I have been a Pinterest member for over a year now. I love this social network. I think this network is extremely beneficial for sharing ideas with one another. I am a reading intervention teacher and I use different methods I have found on Pinterest in my classroom. When I am searching for different teaching methods on Pinterest, I can either find them on a board or a single pin. This network is great for sharing creative ideas. Pinterest has a variety of categories for people to share. This site also is excellent for organizing ideas. If I discover a resource that is beneficial, I can pin it to my classroom ideas board. My followers on Pinterest can see what I pinned and pin it on their board. This resource will continue to evolve.  

Here are some helpful pins for diverse learners.

  1. Nice. I signed up for Pinterest at the insistence of my son, but never really got into it. However, I didn't even think about the potential for education and classroom activities. I guess I have to give it another go.

  4. I love Pinterest for all the great ideas you can get from others! I have used it several times this year to come up with new ideas and activities for things I wanted to update in my classroom.
