Have students
create a Pinterest
board where they
can save certain
learning strategies
and number related
puzzles. Having
students share their
boards with their
fellow peers, allows
a collaboration
aspect where
students can
broaden their

students research
one of the specific

that Pinterest
describes, and then
teaching the class
that certain learning
strategy would also
allow for a different

Analyze, understand,

be required to first
analyze and examine
information regarding
number sense,
properties, and
operations and
therefore be able to
comprehend the
information that they
acquire and use this
information to create
and assemble a
Pinterest board where
they will post and
create an area of
different learning
strategies.

Students will create a

Pinterest board in which
students can post
learning options, and
different methods for
memory tricks and
projects that can help
them retain information.
They will be able to look
back on their boards
throughout the school
year and evaluate their
methods of learning.

Having students
create a Pinterest
board will allow
them to establish a
learning system
outside of the
classroom, and
resources that they
can use from the
access at their
homes.

will have a
collaborative way to
share productive and
useful tricks that have
worked within the
classroom. Patterns
and algebraic

one way Pinterest can
be used to teach and
help students
understand.

Reflection: Overall this matrix allowed me to view the positive collaborative sites and LMSs would have within a classroom. They
will only begin to push the boundaries of what can be taught and the methods of which information can be displayed. This matrix
also allowed me to view the endless possibilities that these digital tools can provide with in a classroom and allowed me to view
the integration of them within the classroom as both an important and diverse field for teachers to incorporate within their
classrooms. The multitude of options such as incorporating discussion boards, other learning ideas, quotes, and collaborative
works are some of the ways that these united tools can allow students and teachers endless opportunities to further students
learning and expand their understanding process. I realized how this change up, and integration of technology would allow
students a diverse learning environment. Storybirds would also be easy to combine, or add to a class website which in turn allows
for parents and family members to glimpse into the learning within the classroom and become an active encourager and provider
of further knowledge in the ideas and lessons discussed. This matrix also forced me to consider students and individuals with
learning disabilities, as well as gifted/talented students. Often times it is easy to forget about these individuals within the
classroom and I truly see the significance of these digital tools as they allow students to delve deeper into understanding and
better comprehend how to diversely learn within each setting. I know though that through this matrix I have only scratched the
surface of what collaborative technological sites, as well as LMSs can provide for the educational system and look forward to
delving deeper into this topic and discovering other useful tips and ways in which to become a more effective teacher for each
and every student.
