Pinterest

Pinterest is going to be the death of me. It is the most addictive site since Facebook was introduced. That being said, it is an AMAZING professional development tool.  I suddenly have resources from around the world at my fingertips in an organized way.  The best part of this site is the use of visuals.  In the past, I would Google ideas and would skim and scan about 5 or 6 resources before calling it quits.  It wasn't that I found the answer to my question or the lesson plan that I wanted, I was just tired of looking.  My eyes would hurt from reading and searching for a particular piece of text or idea.  By using pictures on Pinterest, I am able to search for longer and get better ideas for my lessons. I have collected over 600 pins in S.S., Math, and L.A.
