Pinterest times twenty-two

Wow, thank goodness I have internet again! I just moved and was without for about 2 weeks!

Quick post today with a couple more in the works for before school starts in late August. 

I have been using pinterest for a while now.  Some say that pinning things should count as professional development and I agree! You can get so many great ideas all in once place (you just have to remember to use them!) I used to just have a "Music Education Ideas" board, however, I found that searching for that specific pin was too difficult.  I have since expanded into MANY music education boards.   I thought I would list my boards here and ask for ideas on what else you specifically pin!  Feel free to follow all boards and send me your music education boards to follow as well!

I want to add a specific Folk Dance board as well as a specific Music Singing Games Demonstrations  board, and one where I can pin things from my favorite Music Ed Bloggers which would put me at 22 Music Ed boards! wow! I am sure I will come up with more ideas as well.  It is so much easier to find those favorite pins with all these separate boards.  I am not organized by nature, but love it when I am forced to be and this is such an easy thing! Don't forget to let me know how you organize your music ed ideas in the comments!
