Pinterest

So at the end of class on October 1, we were assigned into groups to do a presentation. The group I was assigned to was given Pinterest as the topic to research and discuss. Before this, I had never gone onto Pinterest and knew little about it. However, after researching and finding YouTube videos on it, I think I may make an account. My sister-in-law tells me all the time how she uses it and finds a lot of neat ideas to use in her classroom. Also the teacher I am observing said she uses Pinterest often to find ideas and things to use. She even said this is where she found her discipline action. It is a chart that hangs on the wall and each student has a clothes pin they move up and down throughout the day. There are different labels: one is good choice, great choice, outstanding choice, warning, letter to parent. Every time a student is behaving and doing what they are supposed to she allows the student to go up and move their pin. I think this is a great idea to use within the classroom and it is little things like this that Pinterest allows teachers to create and share with one another!
