Pinterest: Find and Save Ideas

This is another one of those posts that I'm not sure why I have not written about it before!

As a new teacher, I did not have a PLC for the first few years. There were some ideas I was able to borrow from teachers in my building, but I had to create my curriculum. That's where Pinterest became a huge time saver!

How it works:

Add the Chrome extension- as long as a picture is on the website you would like to save, you can create a brand-new pin.
Download the app to your phone- sift through already created pins when you have downtime to get inspired.
Use the website- You can create new pins like you would with a browser extension and find existing pins. It's easier to organize your pins, send pins, and add collaborators on the website (in my opinion).

You can check out my science board here for some ideas I love and have been inspired by. You will also notice some of my creations as well.

Teaching Channel

Another great free resource is the Teaching Channel . I used it when I was looking for ideas on teaching middle schoolers integers. On the website, I found a video and lesson plan for a scenario a teacher set up for her students to make it more tangible. They email weekly with videos on various topics, like common core.

Freebie: Interactive 3D Models

DewWool is a newer store with many free online resources! I found the " Root Structure " diagram and thought it was too good not to share. This is for you if you need resources for students to label structures. (It also includes math and elementary education resources.) The resources appear to be simple and easy to use. One downfall, because it's free, is there are advertisements. I know this was a concern with the last school I worked at students: viewing unapproved materials via popup ads.
