Pinterest in the classroom:
I started a Pinterest board for my class. It has been an awesome way to share what the kids are doing with their families. Each kid has a number assigned to them in my class, so their board name is their number (to avoid any names online). Parents can follow just their child's board and see any new pins I add about their child on their own Pinterest page. It's so easy to snap a picture of kids doing great things in the classroom. Sometimes, I just pick a few to get pictures of, sometimes I do the whole class. Attach that Pinterest account to the app on your iPad and it is so easy to pin from your iPad. See me if you want more information or click the "P" icon at the top of this page to check it out! Happy "pinning!"
