I'm totally addicted!
So many free printables, classroom ideas and things to buy cheaply for storage / organisation etc.
Would like some UK teachers to follow!! _________________ Counting down to the hols! |

Do but am a bad teacher as have nothing teacher related at all.
Wotton, it is a site where you make boards up of things you are interested in. There are some great ideas. I have used it to let my SIL know ideas of how I want her to do the pictures for my wedding. |

I've just started and have 2 boards which are totally school related. Haven't found as much as Poppychick but then I only started this week.
It's an easy way to save links and ideas. _________________ http://devoil.wordpress.com

| I have been and looked at the pinterest site but what do actually 'do' with it? Is it people's blog type posts? or is it threads like this board but about anything? |

Not like a forum.
A collection of other people's links so if you follow people with similar tastes & interests you get some inspiring ideas.
Have to request an invite - it comes the next day. I'm hooked.
I have one teacher board - the rest pure girls indulgences ) _________________ Counting down to the hols! |

Agree with GE, certainly seems to be an american thing as far as teaching ideas are concerned. Have found some great things though. _________________ http://devoil.wordpress.com
