Pinterest, Google Presentation, and Go Animate
Pinterest! Hooray, finally . . . I found an on-line tool to help me with teaching that I am already addicted to. Yes, every crockpot recipe I have ever made is pinned to my Pinterest Board. I love how easy it is to share best practices among educators on-line. I love that we don't have to reinvent the wheel and can easily borrow and share what we need. I also loved learning about Google Presentations. People have shared things with me via Google docs on many occasions- I never really got it other than it was easier than attaching something to your email. But now I do - I like the collaborative element of it. How much easier is it to all work from home on the same project without having to have someone track each and every change for approval? What a novel concept for group projects . . .gee . . .
I also loved the brainstorming website - and making venn diagrams . . . so cool . . .
yes - a plethora of resources for us to uncover and engage. Think of the leg up we have on teachers who need to retire so we can get jobs!!

I'm glad to see you are using your Pinterest skills for good rather than evil. I have had the opportunity to try one of your crockpot concoctions and it was delicious. But I am going to call it inspirational because I pinned a couple recipes myself. Now I need to find you on the site and sift through your pinterest findings! The site is addicting because it is so easy to look at the pictures and aimlessly discover new possibilities you didn't know existed. Congratulations on your RICA. You will be a permanent teacher very soon.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I have not used Pinterest that much yet. I feel that I am afraid of getting addicted to yet another web site. I know all about the amazingness of this wonderful website, just haven't I guess been "Pinned" yet. hehe
ReplyDeleteYES congrats on the RICA!! :}
