Pinterest + Teaching Channel = Great Teaching Resources

Are you looking for a few good ideas? Well if you haven't tried Pinterest or the Teaching Channel, you're missing out on  great resources for your classroom!

Check out what teachers are sharing on Pinterest and the Teaching Channel!
What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is a social network that shares information by way of interesting images. It requires a free subscription, but once you are on it, these are things you can do:

  • Scroll through loads of different images. 
  • You can save information or images that you like by  creating   boards for later reference. 
  • Once you've opened a "pin," you can find additional information and resources.  That's where you'll find a host of information at your fingertips.  
  • There's a search bar that you can use to focus your search of specific resources and strategies.
  • You can even link to Pinterest from this page (click on "follow me on Pinterest") to find the boards that I've developed.

What is the Teaching Channel?
This is a wonderful resource that is created for teachers by teachers. It is a free subscription site that offers videos tailored to your subject and grade. Here's what it includes:
  • Video clips: These are developed by educational experts and teachers. The clips  include discussion points that can be used to generate active discussion and professional development.
  •  Blog: Tchrs' Voice is a blog that is dedicated to teachers' concerns. It is moderated by several noted professionals, including Pat Wesley, Sarah Brown Wessling, and Lily Jones. 
  • Newsletter: The Tch Newsletter gives informational updates on new videos, ideas on lesson planning, and info on the Common Core and the Teaching Channel itself.
  • Teachers' Workplace/Notebook: An area set up to save videos and notes that you want to refer to at a later time. 
  • Teachers' Roll Call: Once you register your subscription to Teaching Channel, you join a pictorial listing of teacher members. Last week, the 100,000 member joined the ranks!
