Teachers LOVE Pinterest! I don't know how I taught before it. Pinterest is a great tool to find resources, lessons, or ideas to use in your classroom.
What is Pinterest?
It is a place that will hold all of the great things that you (or other people that you follow) find on the internet. The "pins" are stored all in one place and can be organized by category on different "boards". I am sure that many of you are like me and already have an account, so start a shared board!
Co-Planning with Pinterest: Group Boards
Outside of finding great ideas for you to pin and use later, Pinterest offers group boards where more than one person can pin. This is a fantastic tool to make planning with your grade level group or planning team much simpler. Our school days are hectic and busy, home life is precious, so finding a good time to share ideas for curriculum is a challenge. This is where Group Boards come in handy!
When you are surfing online for new, innovative curriculum resources, you can easily share them with your grade level team by pinning to your shared board. These boards can be private so that only invited members can see what is pinned, or public. Even if the board if public, only people who are invited to pin to the board are able to do so.
All About Boards on Pinterest
As your days begin to blur together, think about utilizing shared boards on Pinterest to gather and share ideas with your team from the comforts of your own home surrounded by whomever or whatever is important to you.
Happy pinning!
