The web provides a way for teachers to collaborate like never before. We have listed some of our favorite technology resources for finding / sharing / saving ideas and collaborating with other early childhood professionals!
Pinterest:
Use it to find images, projects, videos, stories for future lesson plans and save or “bookmark” them for future reference. Teachers can create “pin boards” for each class, subject area or topic. Click here to learn more about how educators are using Pinterest.
Facebook:
