Week Three- Schools on Pinterest?

Hello friends!
The WebTyco discussion this week about schools and social networking reminded me that someone in my school recently set up a pinterest account for our school. I currently use my own pinterest account to pin ideas for my classroom. I have been debating whether or not to use the school's account instead. I enjoy using my own account because it allows me to connect with my friends outside of work. It also allows me to pin things that aren't school related. However, I like the idea of a shared account because sometimes I find ideas that are above or below my grade level. The school account is a great place to share these ideas for other teachers in my school to see. I can see the pros and the cons. Any thoughts?

Week Two Reflection

I spent most of the weekend completing my weekly readings and setting up this blog. The blog itself was easier than I thought. I already had a Gmail account and it was easily linked to create a Blogger account. Setting up my RSS news feed was a bit more difficult. I figured out how to link to my other group members, Ashleigh and Doane. I also linked to the class blog. I just hope I have my setting so that they are able to link to mine. Anyway, I will continue to think about how I can use this blog in my second grade classroom!
