Pinterest. I could talk for three days on the wonders of
Pinterest. I absolutely love it. I actually now use it as a search engine –
totally not what it was intended to be. I use it to plan meals for my family. I
pick out new treats for various ministry projects. I look for instructional
resources to share with teachers during professional development trainings. I
even use Pinterest to find tutorials for things I want to learn. There are many
in my house that would love to discuss the evils of Pinterest as it occupies a
lot of my attention and creates more work for them. Let’s talk about how to use
Pinterest for Professional Development.
Think about strolling through a Teacher Store and being able
to look at every single book in the store. Then imagine being able to get a
copy of the pages you like or maybe even purchasing single pages from those
books. That’s what Pinterest is. Imagine enjoying a relaxing beverage while
visiting with a master teacher. That’s what Pinterest is. You can “visit” with
mentors and master teachers by viewing what they pin on their virtual pinboards
on Pinterest. Many of these pins will lead you to blogs to inspire you to try
new things.
So, here are some Educational Technology Pinterest boards
for you to check out.
