My transition to using Pinterest as another teacher tool started when I decided to click on the "education" theme to search for what others had pinned. I was impressed by all the ideas, tools, tips, and tricks that were pinned. Just as with my geeky obsessions, I found a couple people that seemed to share my same philosophies on teaching so I started following their teacher boards. Since then, I have started multiple teaching boards and as I meet people or read articles, I will search to see if they have Pinterest accounts. I am also no longer am using my bookmark bar to save websites for later. I have the Pin It extension on Chrome and pin websites and articles to my boards as I am researching. I have also helped art teachers to create their own Pinterest boards and student accounts for all to share ideas and inspiration on class assignments. Pinterest has quickly become my go to organizational tool and social network for all topics in education!
