3 Ways Pinterest Can Help Elementary Teachers

Pinterest is generally thought to be used by crafty women showing off their creative projects and girls planning their dream wedding. 

What many people don't know, is that Pinterest can be used as an incredible resource for teachers.

1. Pinterest allows teachers to get ideas from others

    Pinterest has easy search tools that allow you to search one or many words to find pictures, posts,       or blogs that use those keywords. It can be a quick and simple way to find ideas for classroom             decorations, group projects, lesson plans, or more!  

2. Pinterest allows teachers to compile the resources they have found

    When a teacher finds a resource they like, they can "pin" it to a board so they can refer to it later. For example, if I was looking for classroom decoration ideas I could make a board titled "Classroom Decorations" and every time I find a picture or idea that I like I could "pin" it to that board.

3. Pinterest allows teachers to share their ideas with others

     We all know what it's like to have a brilliant idea...right? Well if you do know what it's like then you know you want to share it. Pinterest is a great way to share your brilliant ideas with the world. If you had a breakthrough in classroom organization or desk clump ideas, Pinterest can be a great way to share that idea with other teachers who may enjoy it too!
