The Teacher's Guide to Pinterest

Post 2 - Article 1

I found this article on pinterest to be very interesting and helpful as a future teacher candidate. This article showed so many of the ways pinterest can be used by teachers not only in the classroom, but outside of the classroom as well. Showing how to actually pin and repin the boards could be a very helpful resourse for older teachers who may not be very familiar with this type of networking. This article is pretty much a type of tutorial that can be used for anyone to learn how to use this to store things they may find useful in the future. Teacher's can use this site to soar so many different types of things and it allows them to not only store them, but also sort them by boards to make organization easier. It would also seem to come in handy when you can connect with other teachers and you are able to share things you have saved with them. Rather it be lesson plans, activities in the classroom, crafts, coloring sheets or anything else you could imagine that could come in handy in a classroom. I feel as if using Pinterest could have endless possibilities to what you can do with your students and in your classroom. This could help to enhance the quality of so many teacher's classrooms as well as find many fun things that the children will enjoy doing while still learning. I currently do have a Pinterest account, but I never used it and never really considered using it until now. It's quite possible that I will be up all night working on Pinterest now that I have figured out how it works and that it could actually benefit me professionally rather than something else to just take up my time!
