"The Teachers Guide To Pinterest"- Are you in with Pin? Pinterest has become one of the best ways for teachers to share resources and information for the classroom. Teachers are using Pinterest to share quotes and inspiration, display art, photography and design, suggest reading materials, encourage student participation, show student work, and even share lesson plans. Colleges even use Pinterest to keep students, alumni, and potential new students updated on the latest news. The benefits of using Pinterest is that it is free, students and educators can participate by commenting, repining, and liking, and you can make specific searches. Not only is Pinterest beneficial for educators to use, it is parent and student friendly as well. Students can use Pinterest to find images for class presentations and to get ideas for crafts and school projects. Parents can use Pinterest to get lunch ides for kids and find new books to read or recommend for their kids.
Reading this article only confirmed why I love Pinterest so much. I have used Pinterest for several presentations, lesson plans, and even gift ideas. It’s a place where ideas, crafts, and information are displayed easily so that you can find resources to enhance lessons, classroom appearance, and a fun experience in the classroom. This was a great article to read if you have never used Pinterest and are an aspiring teacher. Teachers need all the resources possible at their finger tips, and Pinterest is a great one.
