In this two-part course project, you will curate resources and ideas appropriate to children up to age 8 related to the themes of Art, Movement/Music, and Dramatic Play/Puppetry using Pinterest. Pinterest is a knowledge curation tool where users pin Internet links onto boards. Your completed board can be used to support professional teaching practice in the early childhood classroom, with focus on supporting learning in the classroom, collaboration with families, and diversity. In Part 1 (due Unit 2), you will create your assignment board in Pinterest, create three folders and add 1 pin to each folder. In Part 2 (due Unit 7), you will complete your Board by curating pins for each folder and write a reflection about your completed collection of resources and ideas.
