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!

Invitation to Teach Your Craft at Learnivore!




Happy New Year, everyone! I thought some of you might be interested in teaching your expertise or sharing them with students who are interested to be good at what you do. Just found this one...

Learnivore.com is a marketplace to connect students with private instructors in the arts, athletics, and academics by creating a free profile (for both students and instructors). The site just launched, and I'm trying to encourage as many high quality instructors to join as possible. I believe that some of you, with your years of experience, qualify as highly qualified instructors. Once again, it is 100% FREE. I am also using Learnivore and you can get an idea about what I do by looking at my instructor profile here. You can create your own profile and spread your expertise as well, here's the link: https://learnivore.com/instructors/new/instruction.

Right now we're focused on building a community and making it as big as possible, so that educator extraordinaires (like you) have a great place to let people know your expertise and potential students of all ages have a place to find people who teach them.

You can post multiple profiles, one for every discipline you are good at and are willing to each. So if someone teaches both fitness and academics, or photography and athletics they could post two profiles or more. Also, you can differentiate yourself by price, skills, education, and more. Creating a profile is very fast, easy, and convenient! It involves 4 pages that take about 5 minutes total to complete. When you create a profile you get to reflect on why it is you love teaching your particular field of interest. You can also post documents, photos, videos, and audio files to enhance your profiles.

I firmly believe that this would be a great opportunity for you to spread your expertise the 21st Century way! Please let me know if you have any questions.

All the best,
Maria Angala

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!
