Teachers will be asked if they would like to have an easier way to find and organize ideas for their classrooms. Teachers will be introduced to the website Pinterest through a Power Point that has my online course embedded into it. Teachers will be able to follow along with me as we go through the basics of setting up an account, creating boards and pins and following users. This interaction will allow teachers to get any necessary help during the class. If the class takes up more time than allotted teachers can go to the online course and finish the steps that they missed. They will also be informed of the Forums located within the course that will allow them to post any related information or tips.
