Thing #6

http://pinterest.com/?ff=1
                      I selected to explore pinterest. I absolutely love the site! I have already had a few laughs and gathered some good ideas to bring into the classroom once I begin teaching. I like that the Pinterest makes it so simple to see others ideas and photos. I like that it is not just photos but also allows the people to write something short along with the picture if they want.

                   I found the sites useful features to be in the organization of pictures, crafts, and ideas that are broken into categories. Once you decide what category you may want to "follow" for instance I selected the "education" category you are then given the opportunity to fine tune the broad education category specifically. I chose Elementary Education boards to follow since I will be teaching in the elementary schools. I also decided to follow "humor" because laughter makes the heart merry

                 I could see Pinterest being used in the schools when teachers want to find motivational pictures, quotes, arts and craft projects, and room decor.
