Pinterest, an online bulletin board, offering many options, in numerous areas of interest. https://www.pinterest.com/?utm_source=homescreen_icon
Categories include: home, gardening, art, arts and crafts, photography, clothes, food, and education. For the purpose of this entry, I will concentrate on education.
Being an online bulletin board, you can go to any category and PIN entries of interest. In pinning specific boards, you are essentially creating an online portfolio that you will be able to go back and reference.
Pinterest can be highly addictive as to 'pin' a board is quite easy.
Refer to link referenced above. Once you open the to the site, click the 'EXPLORE" tab and the category 'education' will pop up. From there, you can access thousands of projects, academic worksheets, ideas for portfolio and journal lesson and formats, how to organize a room, holiday projects, other countries, professional development ideas, and all things education.
Once you 'pin' a board, you have the ability to create online folders and download printable activities.
After you choose to 'pin' a board, you then need to save it to a specific topic/named board. There are as many ways to organize this as there are teachers. Boards can be separated by subject matter, grade level, and the like.
Maria, have you used this for a lesson? I think it would lend itself nicely to ELLs vocabulary development and categorizations of words.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have. i find it to be a great resource!
DeleteThank you Maria. I love Pinterest, but I tend to get lost in it. Even as I clicked on to yours, I could have spent the rest of my day looking at the boards. LOL However, I have found some great ideas that I use in my classroom.
