The Teacher's Guide to Pinterest Summary/Reflection

The Teacher’s Guide to Pinterest 

     "The Teacher’s Guide to Pinterest" is a great article that discusses how the educational setting has embraced the world of social media. The article directly focuses on the social media site Pinterest. The article persuades readers to accept the world of pinning that takes place on Pinterest. It gives reasons why teachers should use Pinterest in the classroom setting. It also gives many ways that Pinterest can be used successfully in the classroom. The article truly amplifies the benefits and rewards of using a social media site like Pinterest.

     I have been a Pinterest fan from the very beginning! However, I have always been slightly hesitant when it comes to combining the educational setting with a social media site. I always knew Pinterest could offer many creative ideas for my classroom,  but I never believed Pinterest could be a true “educational” site. After reading this article, I realize there are many different ways Pinterest can benefit me, as the teacher, and also benefit my future students! I am beyond excited to use the tips I have learned from this article in my future classroom!
