Thing #19

Teacher Pop is pretty cool.  I had never heard of it before now but the more I explore it, the more I like it.  It's a lot like Facebook but restricted to teachers.  I think it is a great place for teachers to get together and share ideas.  I also like how not just anybody can sign up and have an accout.  You have to be approved.  That is a good privacy feature that will keep people who don't need to be a part of it off of it.  Teachers can feel safe posting pictures of themselves or their classroom and not have to worry too much about the internet dangers that come along with sharing those things publicly on Facebook or elsewhere.


Visit TeacherPop

As far as other social network sites, I have accounts with Facebook and Pinterest.  I use both of them frequently.  I think Pinterest is a great site to share ideas.  I have gotten a lot of teaching ideas from that site.  There are a lot of educational blogs, curriculum ideas, etc.  I even used some of them for one of my assignments in another class.  It's a really great site to use.
