Tech Tip Tuesday
Pinterest is a great resource for creating your Personal
Learning Network (PLN). Pinterest is a
social media site that allows users to create and share virtual bulletin
boards, or pinboards. This is a great way for teachers to virtually organize
their files. You can use Pinterest to bookmark blogs or other sites that
inspire your lessons, you can collect lesson and activity ideas without
cluttering up your teacher desk or adding a file cabinet to your already
overcrowded classroom.
Setting up a Pinterest account is easy:
Go to www.pinterest.com
and follow the prompts to create an account. You can even login or create a
Pinterest account using your FaceBook account. Need more information? Click here to see what it’s all
about. Need even more information? Click here to learn the basics.
What should you pin? Anything you want!! (Or anything that
is allowed in the terms and conditions.) Create boards for Professional Books.
How many times have you attended a workshop and someone mentions a book that
you must read? Pinterest is a great way to keep those organized and since there
is a Pinterest app for your phone you will always have your reading list at
your fingertips. You don’t have to do all the work yourself. You can follow
other people and see what they are pinning. That is the beauty of social media and
PLNs. You can look around outside of your school building for inspiration and
teaching tips.
Other boards you might think about creating:
Grade level boards
Content boards
Math strategies
Reading strategies
Literacy ideas
Classroom management and organization
Freebies
Social Studies
Read alouds
Your boards are only limited by your imagination. J Happy pinning.

Pinterest as Professional Development
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.
