I am really loving Pinterest this summer though. I mean, I love
Pinterest all.year.long, but during
the summer I have extra time to peruse the pins, think them over, and try lots
of them out. Earlier this summer, I was focused on classroom organization and
décor pins because I was giving our classroom the makeover. I never would have
double-bordered our bulletin boards if I hadn’t seen them in one of Schoolgirl
Style’s pins and I never would have made my own magnetic board with glittery
magnets for reading group organization if I hadn’t seen a similar idea on
Pinterest first.
Now that our classroom is pretty much ready, I’m focusing on
technology pins and looking for ways to get the most out of our new iPads. {Sidenote: keep YOUR iPad ideas coming, thanks!} It
makes me wonder what on earth we did before Pinterest. Sure, all of the ‘stuff’
was out there on the Internet before, but it’s so much easier to find and
organize now.
Pinterest page if you aren’t already following me. What are your favorite
Pinterest boards to follow?
Here's my question. How did we teach before the internet?????

LOL, I know! It's so nice to link up and learn with teachers from all over.
Your title makes me laugh – my husband is at work and right now it really is a party of me, unless you include the cats which just makes me a crazy cat lady! 🙂
Without blogs and Pinterest I don't know where I'd be as a teacher – I just know it wouldn't be nearly as pretty or inspired!
Happy Friday!

We're in the same boat, except I'm surrounded my pups. I love, love, love finding ideas from other great teachers on Pinterest.
Just started following your pinterest boards. I LOVE finding stuff on Pinterest and that it keeps it organized so I can come back to it when I have time! I love the collaboration that pinterest and blogging bring to teaching!!

I love pinterest always too!!! I use it as my little "my" time at the end of the day – all I need is a pinterest search! On my pinterest http://pinterest.com/alisonh88/ and on my school board I have some things I have pinned about Ipads – you might not have seen some of them! Have fun!
Thanks for the link!
I haven't seen the article, but I am shocked you didn't make it!
LOL, I know, right?! 😉
Hmmm everyone seems to be using Pinterest lately. So I should really make an account there soon otherwise I will be the only person in the world not using it 🙂
I resisted for a long time because I didn't want "one more thing" to keep up with, but I'm so glad I made the leap!
Pinterest has given me sooooo many ideas for my classroom! My 3rd grade teammates poke fun because I'm always saying, "Look at what I found!" 🙂

Hi Christi,
I'm a relief primary school teacher in Australia, and my daughter's newly qualified – I've just checked out your wonderful boards on Pinterest and have started following them all.
You have an endearing sense of energy and humour!
Happy Pinning, from one pinner to another,
Nuala 🙂
