Pinterest and its many uses!
  

Pinterest is a cool way to spread different ideas with the entire internet connected world. It can be used in many ways, but one specific way that is important for many people is....THE CLASSROOM! That`s right as technology makes its way deeper into our school systems so does neat internet innovations that come along. Teachers can all be very creative when it comes to coming up with new and exciting ways to teach their students, and Pinterest can be utilized to share these ideas with other educators in the same subject field. It can also be used as a type of research outlet for students through the use of photographs. Basically all subjects are shared and discussed through Pinterest and the possibilities to find cool and fun pictures to share with classmates is seemingly endless. 
I made a cool assignment that follows the subject of physical education, the link is posted as following....

Anyways as many physical educators may know, technology sure is difficult to find useful in the gym.  But with this assignment i utilized the blogging aspect of google, and also made it applicable the share on Pinterest. I made the Assignment to make students and athletes aware of the importance of sportsmanship and how it have be shown to others. The pictures below are an example of me doing the assignment myself as an example for my students. 

 Picture 1- Helping an opposing player up when they are hurt, even if it means losing a game or an advantage! Good sportsmanship is so much better than just winning a game.

 Picture 2- Giving an opposing player a hand when they fall is a true sign of sportsmanship, and should be exhibited by all players, all the time.

Picture 3- Shaking hands with a good attitude after a match is a sign of sportsmanship, and it makes you feel better about a lose, or a win!
