Pinterest helps somehow, someway

Pinterest is such a very interesting site to use because of all the information and ideas that it has on there from other people or even original websites. In a classroom pinterest can be used to help teachers or students come up with bright ideas and projects to do to get them started. Say for instance that a class has started and the children has finished all their work and teacher is looking for something else for them to do besides crossword puzzles or just coloring. The teacher can use her smart board and log on to pinterest so the children could see what she's doing. He or she can look up creative projects that involves thinking skills and creativity for students to do instead of just making them color a flower or a heart, etc.

On the link above is an activity that I have created and did myself. I've also had to use the help of pinterest to do the assignment to give me some ideas on where to head to with my work. I created the assignment to teach students on how to use pinterest to their best interest, knowledge and ability. The reason I have completed the assignment is to show the students that if I can do it then it really shouldn't be that hard for them to complete it as well. By doing this assignment myself I have learned that pinterest is a good reliable source to go to, to get ideas instead of using the internet all the time like a normal person would do. Explore around and look, you never know what you may come across. Below for you I will have photo's of step by step process in how I completed the project.

1. First, I had to find a painting from a different culture that I was most interested in.

2. Next, I searched around on google for websites that would break down the painting for me and tell me a little background information for my knowledge.

3.Then I went to google and signed in so I can log onto google slides to get ready to prepare my slideshow.

4. Finally, I put my slideshow together (more like a powerpoint). On the first slide there was a photo of the painting, the name of it and of course my name. On the second slide was a little bit of background information about the painting. While on the third slide was when the painting was created and published to the world. On the fourth slide was my opinion on why I thought the painting was important and the many aspects of it. On the last slide was what culture the painting was from and some background about that specific culture.

Social networking is a NO!

The links above will describe to you how social networking is effecting you in such ways that could possibly harm your mind. One of the blogs are trying to tell you that social networking can cause you to have an eating disorder which by saying that while you are on a social site you can lose track on what you’re doing when your phone is in hand and your mind is telling you to pay attention to the network, but meanwhile you’re not keeping track on how much you’re eating. Eating too much can cause you to be sick and be unhealthy. They also show you how sites such as Facebook, twitter or even Myspace can cause lower grades or maybe even really bad depression to where you will have to get treated. Those social media sites are like a drama movie to kids our age. They have nothing but humans arguing with each other, telling what they are going to do to one another and things on their personal life. Those such things are amusing to us that’s why it’ll cause us to pay more attention to those certain people because it’s like a book we want to know what is going to happen next in their life. See me personally I think that the site’s should be more restricted and taken away from kids like us and only be allowed to more mature adults because we don’t know how to act once we see something is going on. If the sites get more strict students will have better grades and communicate with their family more and also make friends so that they can do some outside things instead of sitting in the house paying attention to those social sites like it’s a television show.

Being a college student is not what everybody expects it to be. Being a college student is definitely not what the movies in today's world is making it to be. I've come from Bryant, Arkansas and my major is early childhood education. So that when I reach the age of 28 or mid 30's I can teach young children at that time on things that I already know from what I was taught. Growing up from where I’m from kids like me did not get to learn what they should have learned. I enjoy being around many children because they bring so much happiness and smiles upon everyone’s face, it seems as if they were born for a purpose. I have two little siblings, Taniya and Leyah, of my own who loves to teach and looks up to me to help them. I have started this blog because although as of right now the children are small, but as they get old enough to the point where they need to find out more about college they should know the if’s and and’s it will be on going to college. They will also need to know how the life is living on a college campus and the experience from somebody who has already been. This blog is to show everyone what it will actually be in terms of being a freshman, sophomore, junior, senior or even a super senior. This is just to show and tell each and every one of you that when coming to college it won’t be like middle school or high school, it’s like you are taking on the real world and getting ready to put in hard work for what you want to be and what you are striving to be. I’ve come to college to say that I did it when I graduate. What will be your purpose of coming?
