Pin-spiration!

Hi, my name is Erin and I love Pinterest.

Anybody with me?! 

:)

Because I am a visual learner, Pinterest is AWESOME. It is easy to organize and (much too) easy to search for ideas, activities, or resources. The ability to share and collaborate online through blogs, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. has changed and challenged my teaching!

Anyways, the school year is wrapping up here in SE Asia (crazy!) so I have been turning to Pinterest for some ideas and a little bit of inspiration. 

I thought I would pop in today and just share some of my latest pins! 

In no particular order, here are a few of my favorite things I have pinned lately:

A much cuter way to use the good old plastic table cloth:

Each idea is something that I may not have thought about on my own, but because of Pinterest and the willingness of other people to share their ideas, I have grown as an educator! 

(Hello, professional development?!)

So, what about you? Do you use Pinterest? 

If so, how has it changed the way you teach?
