The Teacher's Guide to Pinterest - Part 1: What is Pinterest?

The Teachers Guide to Pinterest

Getting Started with Pinterest! I’m surprised to find out how many educators are still not using Pinterest! So I’ve decided to put together this guide to help new users get started, and help more advanced users find great educational content. So why not use the summer to get acquainted with Pinterest and find some great resources for the school year! Guys, Pinterest is not just for the ladies! I have a brother-in-law with a “Man Cave,” board to prove it! Give it a shot. Watch the video below if you are new to Pinterest, and still don’t quite get it.

What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a visual bookmarking tool, where users save bookmarks or “pins” onto their virtual “boards” to organize and revisit. Pinterest is also a very powerful search engine! Use it to find and discover new ideas for the classroom, for your home and your life.

It is crazy that you posted this today. This past weekend I asked my co-workers what they thought was so great about Pinterest. My sister “invited” me to join way back when it was just getting started, and I just couldn’t get on board (pun intended of course). One of my summer goals is to start utilizing Pinterest. Thank you for posting this, and I look forward to your Keynote at Texserve in Dallas at the end of July.
