Pinterest Project

  Who knew that just by visiting one single website, you would learn so much. Pinterest is my new bestfriend!!! I typed in teachers, education, students, and learned 15 new ways on how to become a successful teacher. I am actually going to take advantage of this website when it comes down to my college degree. When first signing on to Pinterest I did not know what exactly what I was doing. I played around and figured out how to work the website just that fast. If you need activities for students, or looking for science projects this is the website, it has lots of choices to choose from.

  I searched the frameworks and found a topic to do my final exam over. Went right to Pinterest and instantly brilliant ideas popped up. I found one idea that was on the website and that was for the students to create what the inner and outer parts of the body looks like.


In the project that I did, we used :

PIPE CLEANERS !!!!!!!! Start by making a small loop on the end of the pipe cleaner. This will be the head.

Make sure to be very generous with how small you make it; The bigger it is, the more likely you are to run out pipe to fold.



After you're sure about the size you've gone with, twist the loop to ensure stability.

 
we used this to create the human body, and next students are going to label the human body.

after the project is finished students will have different styles but something similar to so:

Human body project made out of pipe cleaner.
labeled.

Want to learn how to create this link will be listed bellowed.

make the legs you will need 1 pipe cleaner:

1) Fold the pipe cleaner in half

2) Twist these to halves together. It should now be a pipe cleaner that is twice as strong and half the length.

3) Fold it so that it is in 3 parts, two legs and a middle.

To Make the arms you will need one pipe cleaner:

1) Fold the pipe cleaner in half.

2) Twist it all the way through this time (no hole)

3) Push this halfway through the hole in the body.

4) Fold it in half (upwards)

5) Take one side and push it through the body loop again so that it forms a loop.

6) Do this again on the other side.

The arms are finished.

o make the head you will need 1 pipe-cleaner:

1) Fold the pipe-cleaner in half.

2) Twist it but leave a hole in one end.

3) Poke it through the gap where the arms loop around the body.

4) Push one end through the hole and pull it tight.

5) Now begin to roll it down in a tight spiral.

6) Spiral down as far as you can go.

Now you have finished your pipe-cleaner man.

If you want you can add feet / hands, or wrap another pipe cleaner around his body to make it a bit fatter.

I will share with you different tools that I find unique and simple. Rather you’re a teacher or not I hope it becomes useful and beneficial. 





1.) http://www.equizzer.com/index.php 

 EQuizzer- eQuizzer allows you to create quizzes and test easily. It also allows you to monitor your students' scores. This tool provides a variety of quiz styles such as multiple choices; fill in the blank, true/false, and even short answer. I could use this to make short quizzes online and give them to my students. Also outside of school my students could have access to the quiz and could take advantage of this and quiz themselves for later exams.

2.) Bubblus: Often get brain farts? This website will gather your thoughts. This website save your work and you can print off your bubbles to take anywhere. I would suggest starting the students off on this website first. Its an easy way to have all your ideas in one spot, to get them down quickly, and this website helps it look better. 

3.) http://www.coolmath-games.com/0-magic-pen

 Magic Pen- Magic Pen is an interactive physics app. You are given a red ball and you have to get the ball to the flag. You can draw different objects just to get the ball to the flag. I would use this with my students when we are going over physics concepts. It would help the students get the picture of the different concepts 

4.) http://tuxpaint.org 

Tux Paint: Is strictly for children ages 3 to 12. Tux paint is a very easy application to use. Its fun for the younger students and has sound effects. You get to choose a mascot who guides children as they use the program. Kids are presented with a blank canvas and get to draw with different tools to help them be creative. This could be used in the classroom because shows off the students creativity. 

5.) http://prezi.com

With this site you must have Internet access.  Prezi also allows you to choose a theme, rather its hollowed, Christmas or spring. You can upload pictures and type words. Prezi is a good tool for group or individual presentations on any assignment. Prezi it’s similar to PowerPoint but more detail.  This web tool, you do not need flash drive to save, you go to website, and your work is still there.

6.) https://www.edmodo.com 

  Edmodo is the safest way for teachers to connect with students, parents, and each other. This tool allows students and parents to know their grade in the classroom at all times. Teachers can send alerts, assignments, files, and even links to each other. Edmodo requires that a teacher create an account and then add his or her students to the group so that everything remains private and classes are separated. Teachers can use this tool to communicate with their students and students are also able to communicate with the teacher. This tool can be used as a way to clarify assignments and let the students be aware of the upcoming assignments and homework.

7.) http://photopeach.com

 Photo peach- Photo peach allows you to create PowerPoint. You can add background music to your PowerPoint. It also makes it easier for teachers to manage student accounts. I could use Photo peach in the classroom by having them make a PowerPoint and insert music. They could select a music style just by using Photo peach. 

8.) http://www.easybib.com 

Easy Bib is a ''free'' website that creates citations or bibliographies for you. Students simply type in the correct information and Easy Bib will do the rest. Once your done Easy Bib will allow you to copy the bibliography directly from their website into your word document. Students can use this website to make sure they are correctly citing their documents. Teachers can also use this website to teach their students how important it is not to plagiarize.

9.) http://www.braingle.com/

    

Braingle has fun free puzzles, riddles, so much more. Braingle help prepare the students ready for assignments. This definitely is a fun way to learn. It gets your brain activated for today’s lesson. Braingle has brainteasers that could sometimes get a little confusing. I would use this website in the classroom by helping the students figure out the answers. I would make sure everyone is participating in the different fun games.

10.) http://www.toondoo.com/ 


Toondoo allows users to create comic strips or cartoons. It helps the students to think on their own. It can also show how the students are feeling and show how creative they can actually get. Instead of writing/ drawing the pictures, the students could use today's technology to show their skills. The age group doesn't have to be strictly for elementary; middle school students could use this application as well.
