Using social media

When trying to advertise your own blog, using social media can be an important thing to use. There is a huge reach on social media platforms that allow you to come in contact with many people. If you want to market your blog and want to share it with others, you can post it on your social media platforms to try and share it with everyone that you know in one step.

If there is something that you find important and you want to share it, do not hesitate to try and do so!

Pixabay and why to love it

If you are like me you thought that any Google Image could be used as long as you were creating something for your classroom. This actually is NOT true!

The Copyright law and Fair Use confusing, it seems that the easiest decision would be to use a website that is full of free pictures that can be used.

That is why you should love Pixabay!

Pixabay is so easy to use and you can always find a great image to use for whatever you may need.

When using Pixabay, just type in the type of picture you are looking for, choose that picture and insert it and you are all set!

Importance of Early Education

Something that I have always found interesting was how our childhood effects the rest of our lives. Education is always changing and starting earlier in life. The interesting fact is that early education is not typically offered in the public school districts.

Steve Zwolak explains in great detail the importance of what happens early in life and how it can effect a person for the rest of their lives.

The Importance of Pictures

When it comes to using pictures, it is important that you make sure you choose the best picture possible to get your point across.

For example: I have a brown Labrador retriever. You would include a picture of a brown Labrador retriever and not a different type of dog.

YES:

See the source image

NO:

See the source image

When needing to find an image, sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is not. One way to find an image is to do an internet search for it and type in exactly what you are looking for or type in key words. Another way to find an image is to take your own. If you have access to the type of picture you need, it is best that you take the picture on your own and use the most authentic version possible in your situation.
