Pinterest – A Tool for Educators!
During the last year, I have invested time and energy to fully embrace social media as a tool for teachers and learners. A few months ago I signed up for a Pinterest account, but hadn’t really worked on it too much. Earlier this week, I decided to clean out emails I had been saving. Most were awesome teacher tips, resources and a variety of strategies that I wanted to try and also share with my students. I decided to archive them on my Pinterest Boards, so that my colleagues and students could use them as well.
I am still a novice, but I am having a great time learning about ways I can use this resource. If you would like to check out my resources my link is below.
If you are already an expert at Pinterest, I would love to know about your ideas and the ways you are using it.

Hi Linda!
I’ve been using Pinterest to catalog all the ideas I’ve come across (both on the web AND on other user’s Pinterest boards, which by itself is an AMAZING resource!) for my classroom. Now I just need to take the time to stop “pinning” and start sorting through all the things I want to get accomplished before school starts!
