I am a Google Education Trainer and Google Educator. Since 2006, I have been working in a school district deploying many technology resources into the classrooms. On a regular basis I have been asked a variety of technology questions ranging from: what's the best app for this, how can I do this at home, and do you have a suggestion for trying this online? I have created this blog to answer these questions and more! Here you will find app suggestions, helpful tips and great web tools. Enjoy!

Are you a Pinner?
$Free Available on all Platforms and Web based
Pinterest is a fabulous social networking site that allows user to search and pin Favorited items onto user created boards. Think of it like this, you have a cork board at your desk and every time you find a recipe or fortune cookie quote, you pin it to your board. The benefits of Pinterest are that its digital and you can create as many boards as you'd like. You also have the option to have private boards so only you can see what you've posted. Once you discover pins that you like, you can choose to follow the person who pinned those items so you see more items like that.
Listed below are some great sites I've come across with ways to use Pinterest in the Classroom.
