Pinterest in the classroom

While doing the Pinterest activity I learned two important things. The most important thing I learned was how to use it, and how you can have different boards that house your pins. Boards can have different topics, to where your pins connect. The second thing I learned was all of the different things you can find on Pinterest and how there is something for pretty much any topic you can think of, as a teacher I find this very useful. There are so many different activity ideas to look into, as well as different materials to add to your classroom to make it more convenient for learning. I plan to continue to use Pinterest to get ideas for weekly activities for my students.

The main strength of Pinterest, that I noticed, is how organized you can be with the specific pins that you find interesting. Like I mentioned before, you can create different boards which can have specific topics, pins are then sorted onto each board in which they relate to one another. During this activity I didn’t really seem to have any challenges, or questions. For some it may be somewhat challenging to grasp the different concepts of the boards and pins and how they correspond, but for the most part it is very user friendly, and I’m excited to continue using it.
