DQ1 Pinterest Board Links

Pinterest is a knowledge curation tool where users pin Internet links onto boards.  You can follow other's boards and repin other's pins onto your boards.  There is a button you can install that will help you pin articles automatically from your browser (see Goodies below) as well as apps for different devices.

Here are some links to help you get started if you are new to Pinterest:

All About Pinterest

Goodies

Develop a Pinterest board about STEM, pinning articles and website links to the board.  Search Pinterest to repin interesting pins that others found as well.  The link could look like this for your username and the board titled STEM: http://www.pinterest.com/username/STEM/.

Share your Pinterest board link here for others to follow and repin ones they like.

DQ2

This course lends itself to the subject of increasing words for your preschoolers as it's part of every activity we plan. We have tier 1, 2 and 3 words that we need to cultivate in our discussions with our children. After reading the links, how will you be intentional in creating awareness and usage of vocabulary words to add and enhance your daily discussions. Think about the availability you have when employing naturalistic, informal and structured experiences.
