Well, let this confession begin with me expressing my adoration for Pinterest. Pinterest is an amazing web resource for anyone who has a creative bone in their body! Pinterest provides an amazing 'hub' of sorts to store material that I come across on the web. I am able to find ideas for classroom layouts, lesson plans, team building activities, and all the visual learning tools (to say the least) that I come across online on one website that I can organize by topic and share with others.
Pinterest is also a great way for educators to find each other and share resources with one another. Pinterest has helped me find many links to other teacher's blogs that have lots of unique ideas and resources for classroom management and activities. There is also a section on Pinterest that is specifically for Education, though most of the pins in this section are typically for Early Years education there is no reason that ideas cannot be used to make life in the classroom more exciting for older students as well.
While sometimes I feel guilty about spending so much time on Pinterest I can also reassure myself that I am learning as I browse. So get in touch with your creative side and get browsing Pinterest because there are so many ideas waiting for you to access them!
Happy Pinning!
