Pinterest in the Classroom

Have you ever heard of Pinterest? If you haven't go check it out!

This website is great for not only find new outfits, some DIYS, or even a new recipe, but it is such a great resource for any teacher!

On Pinterest, there is a wide range of organization techniques, classroom set-ups, lesson plans, activities, and tips. In high school I started using this site and I now have a teacher board containing over 300 pins.

If you've never used Pinterest, fear not, it is easy to use.
