5 Pinterest Collaborative Boards: Teaching & Education


I must confess that I am now an official Pinterest addict and I have spent more than an hour of my waking day to devote to building content of my awesome Pinterest teacher boards since its inception in November. The great news is that I'm now opening them up for collaboration!
 
What are Pinterest Collaborative Boards? They are actually boards on Pinterest that allow other pinners to pin content on the board. Yes, it's that plain and simple! I believe that I have great colleagues who are also Pinterest users (like YOU!) who would want to share pins centered around teaching and special education. Collaborative boards on Pinterest are a great way to share your information to other teachers and networkers, while also generating great back links to your blog or website.
 
My Pinterest boards are now open, please leave a comment on the latest post and I will certainly add you. Let's start sharing!

PAINTING / COLLAGE

Male
Talkative, inquisitive
Achieving, playing, asking
I feel like I don’t belong here
Carl.
*********************

I am a nice young man
I wonder about the homeless people on the streets
I hear a lot of things in my head saying what will they have to eat
I see people every day lying on the ground
I want to help them but all I can do is walk around
I am a nice young man

I pretend that I’m not in special ed
I feel like I need to get out of this class
I touch the heart of the people who love me
I worry that people will make fun of me
I cry but I don’t show I cry
I am a nice young man.

I understand that this is not where I belong
I say that I am not in special ed but I am
I don’t dream of nothing
I try to get out of this special ed class
I hope I never have to come here anymore
I am a nice young man.

************************************

Black is the color of me
And now you can see
I am black, skin is black,
I am black as you can see
Black is that colorAnd that color is me.

The HUMAN PARADIGM

Human is earth's Choicemaker. Psalm 25:12 He is by nature
and nature's God a creature of Choice - and of Criteria.
Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and definitive characteristic
is, and of Right ought to be, the natural foundation of his
environments, institutions, and respectful relations to his
fellow-man. Thus, he is oriented to a Freedom whose roots
are in the Order of the universe.

Note: The Creative Process is a Choice-making Process.

Carl, I was always talkative in class. I really enjoyed your first poem, and I thought the collage matched it very well. Good luck.

WELCOME SY 2014-2015!

Teachers & parents tell me that this blog is like a "One-Stop-Shop", here's why ---

There are tons of lesson plans, printables, activity sheets and other resources that special education teachers can find in this blog! It's all for you to get the lil ones engaged in their seats and lovin' what they're doin'!

This blog is also our class portal to communicate information about our class, to archive course materials, to publish the course curriculum, syllabus, class rules, lessons, homework assignments, rubrics, and presentations. Yes, everything is in this blog for our students to review our lessons at home!

Parents love the transparency and the ability to access class materials in this blog. It's easy for parents to follow along as my students post their work. This holds true for their psychologists, social workers, general education teachers, and other special ed providers. This is another way for us to collaborate with the Multi-Disciplinary Team members of our students!

This class blog also serves as our students' e-portfolio. Our students collect the work they want to consider highlighting and then publish those that represent their best work. They then reflect on their work as they share them to their parents and teachers for positive comments and feedback. It's very easy for them to look back over their work and see the growth they've accomplished!

We invite you to please leave a message to our students. Beside the tiny envelope just after each entry is the comments link. Your positive feedback will surely encourage our students to do their best in school.

Thank you for visiting our class portal!
