How can I use Pearltrees to differentiate content in the classroom?
I log into Pearltrees for the first time to complete the assignment, so I am not too familiar with the site or its uses. I can say that It appears to be a lot like Pinterest which I am very familiar, and I do visit and use often for classroom ideas. I could see looking up information on how to better support students through differentiation in the classroom by using one of these two sites. Also, you could adapt material to benefit students through these sites. A teacher and find materials that would further promote learning to various types of multiple intelligences through these sites. As we differentiate our instruction we are able to further benefit our students in the classroom and promote lifelong learning.
I have been very impressed with the idea of a bookmarking website to store links for later use. I can recall back when I would bookmark favorite sites. You would have to go to the bookmark and try and find the information you were looking for again. Now you can pin something to Pinterest with a picture which you can place in a category for later use. I sometimes just look at the pictures for ideas within the classroom. I would advise people who are starting to pin ideas to make sure they create specific categories because down the road generic categories become too large to manage.
I have also included my Pinterest site for ideas of how to use or how I have used Pinterest.
