Interesting ideas to teach

I am still learning how to use Pinterest and Diigo but I found a lot of interesting stuff about education, and teaching skills while I was checking out the websites. On my first post, I talked about I want to be more creative in order to be a better teacher. I found a lot of great ideas to teach, and possibly will make my class more fun and more effective to help my students to learn in the future. For example, I found one of the teacher's blog on Pinterest. She shares about "Reading is Thinking". Most of the people especially little children are not interested in reading. However, as a teacher, I can make them to think in order to read only. She made a poster to show all the different things going on inside the reader's head. In this way, it will make it visualized to the kids what is happening inside their brain while they are reading. The next time when they read, they will focus more on what they think not only read through the whole book. They can learn how to find their answers through reading and also it will increase their reading quality. I am excited to look up more teaching skills from other teachers.
