Pinterest

Have you heard of Pinterest?  I've been viewing Pinterest for a while now, but recently I have really done a lot of pinning of ideas for the classroom.  What am I talking about you ask?  Pinterest is a visual bookmarking site that is chuck full of ideas for the classroom, but also for many other topics as well.

According to the Pinterest site, "Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes."

To better understand how Pinterest works, watch this short video.




You need to have an invitation to participate in Pinterest, but that is easy to do.  If you would like me to send you an invite, just let me know in the comment box below.

I look forward to sharing more great finds from Pinterest each week.

Buncee is a Great Site I learned About This Past Summer If you are an educator I recommend going to edu.buncee.com  This is a free site that allows you to create a slideshow type presentation, but also can be used to blend learning for a lesson or even as a student portfolio or showcase. Your students will enjoy creating content with Buncee as well. When you first open a Buncee you are able to choose a background  from their gallery, from the web or upload an image of your own.
