Inspiration
As part of my own writer's notebook, I wanted to include all of the random (and not so random) websites, pictures, and blogs that inspire me. I run across so many each week, and have found a fun way to keep track of them: Pinterest!
To those of you who are not familiar with Pinterest, be warned: It is an addiction waiting to happen. Not only do I find great ideas and strategies to incorporate into my classroom, I also find things that cater to my "extra-curricular" interests- like food, gardening, home design, crafting, fashion...
I'll use it as a kind of "brainstorming" section of my writer's notebook. It not only fuels my hobbies, but my journaling as well. You can find my brainstorming at http://pinterest.com/laurenhaug/ or click on the link on the left of this page.
