Reflection
I chose to do pinterest to help me teach the basics of first grade science! I enjoyed searching for things that would help students learn. The best thing about pinterest is the it is easy to use and east to search and find things that you are looking for. The hard thing about pinterest is that it can be a little time consuming to find exactly what you want to teach because the search option can pull up millions of possible pins to use. It is also hard to organize your thoughts in the order you would like them to be learned because the pins are placed randomly inside the board. The way I would use this tool in the classroom would be to pull up my board of pins and address to the ones most important. Then depending on the given time, I would go to the activities and other fun pins. Students could use pinterest by finding my board and looking over the concepts that maybe they didn't fully understand. Overall I think pinterest is a fun, easy, and an understandable way for students to learn.
