Pintrest is, in my opinion, a more interesting site than Facebook.  You can create your own museum and exhibit through pictures.  This is definitely something that you need to play around with.  There is so much information out there on everything and it's hard to really pick one to focus on.

The board I have created is called Places to Visit and there are pictures that mean a great deal to me, both personally and professionally.  One of my colleagues lives in Umbria and she sends me pictures of her hometown and information on different festivals.  A major upside to working with language, especially foreign language is that you get to see different cultures and different countries.

One of the photos is Greco-Roman ruins and I chose that one because it reminded me of similar ruins I saw when I went to Ephaseus.  It was a rich experience, unfortunately, I do not have my camera.  So, this was a great reminder.

For students, this is a great tool for visual learners.  These visuals are especially helpful when dealing with a multilingual, multilevel classroom.  There may be 100 ways to say cat, but if I use images of animals and some of the worksheets from online, it will explain better than I can.  Cat is a weak example, but the main point is that pictures, in this case, are really worth a thousand words.

Speaking of words, there really are some harsh ones in the world of macro images.  I understand that this can be a force for good, but WOW.  I had no idea people could be that....well just that.  Anyway, this class has been so helpful in getting me more into technology I felt that this was appropriate.  I set up an account with imgflip and they showed my how to set something up.  This is getting to be a lot of fun.

My students are adults and most of them have never used a computer before coming to my class.  That article with all the links to different boards really coincides with what I am doing now with my class, which is prepositions.  I simply love it.
