Fact or Fib?

So if you are like me, I love to thumb through social media apps or search the web for fun new and exciting must- have's for the classroom. Guilty right? I know I am. I love to get on and save, tab or screen shot the coolest articles to go back and read and then possibly implement those trends for the classroom. 
The question... Do you ever wonder if those amazing articles to try the new trends really work? I mean do they or are they just for that perfect classroom utopia scenario? I question this all the time! So I had a great idea. What if I took some of those wonderful hacks, tricks of the trade for the classroom and tried them on my students in room 324? I am going to start this Fact or Fib series in my "real world" classroom. I will be taking a look into some of those wonderful Pinterest, Facebook strategies to see how they workout in the everyday hustle and bustle of the classroom. Will they be Fact or Fib? Join me and see, because there are some that I am sure you will want to try in your classroom too.
