Pinterest Boards (Because we all love Pinterest!)
Pinterest is a great go-to tool for any teacher. I have meet an amazing ELL teacher that works at one of our local schools who loves to use Pinterest to put her own GLAD tools on her pinning boards. I have included links to her GLAD boards. Click on each of the buttons and they will take you to the different GLAD Strategy focused boards!
