Pinterest - Integrating Technology

On iLearn Technology, I read an interesting article on Pinterest.  Pinterest is a website with millions of fun ideas for teachers and students. Solar systems are just one example, whether you're forming one from under an umbrella, using toilet paper and balls in the hallway or with a cracked egg.  Your students will surely love it. Experiments with sugar cubes, making tornadoes or studying the weather are also fun ideas available to you.  Historic timelines and math ideas are also available to anyone with a creative hand.
Holiday projects are also available on Pinterest.  With a wide variety of fun and exciting ideas like; snowflakes in January, heart shaped melted crayons for Valentines Day, shamrock bracelets for St. Patrick's Day, bunny ears along with many more ideas for Easter are a huge success with teachers and students. Lets not forget May day baskets, 4th of July rockets, Halloween ghost and goblins which are always a fun way to welcome Fall, Thanksgiving hand print turkeys with poems and Popsicle stick snowmen for winter are also crafts available on Pinterest.
Pinterest is only one of many sources available to teachers.  Whether you're discussing the history of American Indians, growing plants with biodegradable newspapers, or needing phonics phones for your students. Be sure to check out Pinterest for one of the many of integrating the use of technology into the classroom for you.
