How I Stay Connected
When
asked “how do you keep current with emerging trends in education, classroom
tools, and technologies?” one may answer with my different responses, such as
reading new updated education books, Pinterest, or blogs just like this one.
For me
personally I would say I keep current with Pinterest more often than the other
alternatives. Pinterest is a great way to find ideas for any activity in the
classroom, or ideas for classroom management. Pinterest is also great with
keeping a teaching up to date on emerging technologies. Below is a picture of a
bulletin board example from Pinterest. I love this bulletin board because it
encourages children to learn. In today’s time children are more interested in
technology than reading an actual book.
Another
great aspect of Pinterest is it can inform a teacher of new technologies to use
in the classroom. For example, below is a picture of 10 resources a teacher
could use in the classroom. This list gives great advice for teachers, one
example I have experience with off of this list is Kahoot. Kahoot is an online
game, where teachers can submit questions. Then each child uses their own
device to answer the questions.
Pinterest
is my favorite way to keep current with emerging trends in education, classroom
tools, and technologies; What is your favorite way to stay current?
I love Pinterest too. It has so many beneficial ideas for teachers and your students. I love searching and finding new things all of the time. It is a great place to collaborate and share ideas with one another. This is a great resource to keep up to date with the latest news and trends.
ReplyDeleteAshley, I agree the Pinterest is a great source to use. I love the ability to not only connect with other teachers but to also organize ideas on personalized boards.
ReplyDeleteI love Pinterest because the sources are endless, and I like how organized I can make it by creating individual boards. It is a great way to connect and share ideas and you can also pin things straight from the Internet.
ReplyDeleteI love Pinterest! I created so many different boards with such different topics that will be so helpful when I start to do my student teaching and when I have my own classroom one day. Like you said, it also can help you stay current with different changes that are happening. I will definitely keep using it in the future!
ReplyDeleteAshley, I totally agree with you about Pinterest. I use it all the time and am always getting new ideas from it. It is a very organized site and it makes it easy to keep up with all the new emerging trends
