This week during our Connected Educator class, we looked at
Pinterest and Facebook and how they can be used in education. I must say,
I have some strong feelings about using Facebook in the classroom.
Although Facebook can be a great way to communicate with people, I do not
feel it is the appropriate place for students and teachers to communicate.
There are plenty of other tools, such as Edmodo and Google Drive.
Now, Pinterest on the other hand...what a
fabulous resource to find ideas for your classroom. Math, reading,
writing, science, social studies, classroom management, technology ideas, etc.,
you can find some kind of idea on Pinterest. I must admit, I have only
dabbled in the world of Pinterest, because I have heard how addicting it can
be; however, during this past week I have spent quite a bit of time on
Pinterest, and I must say...I don't know why I have been resisting. I
have started a number of boards and I have been harvesting ideas from of my
Pinterest friends. I can see that I will be partaking in many more hours
of Pinteresting.
Happy Pinning!
