Tech Tool Review

Pinterest in the Classroom

I have not had a lot of experience using Pinterest.  Using it for the first time, I found that it is a really great site to explore to find different ideas for educators.  It's easy to search and the Pins created are relevant to the topic you are exploring.  I loved the different and creative sites on Reggio Emilia inspired activities and decoration.  It's very inspiring to see what ideas educators are using in the classroom.

I think that Pinterest is a marvelous tool for educators to utilize.  It allows you to communicate ideas and interests, with a visual component, and can influence teachers to try new and interesting activities.  It can also help parents to have more familiarity with what their children are doing and learning in preschool.  The pins that you choose to add to your board allow a reference point for other teachers, students and parents to view.  Pinterest provides an array of information.

I didn't experience any challenges when exploring Pinterest, in fact I found it pretty simple.  The biggest challenge I had was not going overboard pinning different sites on my board!

Now that I know more about Pinterest, I look forward to exploring it and using it more in the future.  I'm always looking for new ideas and creative activities to help students learn while having fun.  Pinterest is a fantastic resource for educators, students and parents.
