Pinning it

Pinterest is the technology tool that I chose to explore. I have been curious about Pinterest as I have heard many colleagues, friends and family talking about lots of ideas that they have seen and used. Creating a Pinterest account was easy to do. I simply signed up with my email address. I followed four simple steps and then started searching for interesting things to me. I did need to confirm my email account as well. On Pinterest, I started searching for library bulletin board ideas and I "pinned" two that I liked. There was a huge variety of bulletin board and display ideas. I think this will be useful in the library as well as in my current teaching role. I also looked at young adult book ideas. I always like to see what others recommend. Next,  I looked at language arts teaching ideas as well as technology. I can see that this can be a good tool for both my professional life and my personal life. There are tons of ideas that have been shared. I think this tool will have to be explored in more depth and quite frequently as it is filled with so many ideas and seems like it is updated often. I am guessing this tool is blocked at my school since most social networking sites are. I am not sure how I would use this tool with students. I think I would use this tool for the students. Many of the ideas of bulletin boards, lessons, technology ideas can be presented and shared with classes. I feel this will be true in the media center as well.
