I have been using Pinterest for a while. I love to use it find recipes, knitting patterns and other craft projects. I do use it for school too. Now that I have the Pinterest button on my tool bar I am noticing that I am pinning more and more as I search for classroom activities and ideas. Now that I have the button on my tool bar I am using pinterest more efficiently, before I would log on and then I would start searching for 1 thing and hours later be looking at something totally different. Now with the button if I am searching for something and I find something I might need in a few weeks I pin it and get back to the task at hand.
I am now also following more boards of fellow second grade teachers from all over. I like that new pins appear on my page each time I open the site. I am now trying to use pinterest each week when I start my planning to see if I can find some new activities to do it the classroom. Anchor charts have been hard for me, after seeing so many on pinterest I am using more in my classroom. Pinterest is really helping me keep the fun aspect to teaching while trying to make sure my students engaged in their learning.
