Thing #6

I look on www.etsy.com.  This website was so interesting!  Yes, it is a form of shopping; however, it is nearly al homemade things.  It offers a unique outlet to shopping and shows the artistic ability of others in the country and even the world.  Though it seems unlikely, this website could be extremely useful to educators for all grade levels.  Etsy shows different vendors who create just about anything you want.  When first looking at the website, I assumed the only educational use would be out of an art classroom.  However, after further investigation I proved myself wrong!  Though this is a shopping cite, educators could use ideas for different activities in their classroom.  Making different things in a lesson addresses kinesthetic and visual learners; therefore, a hands-on activity would be extremely useful!
