I have found Pinterest to be the easiest way to share information with them. I have created many boards that address technology integration and have tried to create boards for all content areas. I am also collaborating on a few boards with colleagues. I am finding many elementary teachers - but am struggling to find as many Middle and High School teacher boards. Any suggestions of secondary teachers who are creating educational boards? Copyright.. very important to always link back to where the information was obtained.

I wrote a blog post about Pinterest last week b/c I think it's such a wonderful tool and I wanted to let teachers know about it, as many have not heard yet. I love all the ideas you've shared here and have added a link to this post on my blog.

Of course all that saved time is lost exploring the wonderful resources I have found! I am planning a PD session for local teachers and was pondering if I should use this as my focus. This is encouraging me in that direction!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03976415192708983603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-3836543791194730272012-02-19T19:48:26.917-05:002012-02-19T19:48:26.917-05:00Given all the comments above, I wonder if we can s...Given all the comments above, I wonder if we can start a Google Doc to share our Pinterest URLs, etc. I would appreciate seeing how others organized their boards, their pinnings, and their annotations. I, too, use Diigo, and will continue to use both. Pinterest holds promise for visual learners, but even Diigo holds promise for those learners if the full features are used. Although I initially found myself staying up to the wee hours of the night (well, really morning), I have curbed how much time I stay on the site. I tend to keep it as an open window or to use the pin it button just as I would the diigolet one on Diigo. Thus, the process of pinning and annotating has become more seamless over time. I like all the ideas offered in the original post and comments following as ways to explore the potential of Pinterest in the school setting. Google Plus+ is another tool that equally, if not more so, deserves exploration and study for use in the school setting.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467341120077033854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-84616715493268708392012-02-19T19:17:36.951-05:002012-02-19T19:17:36.951-05:00My teachers LOVE Pinterest and have done some amaz...My teachers LOVE Pinterest and have done some amazing lessons and activities they have found. Of all the social media I have shared with them, they shared this with me and find HUGE value in the "education" section. I bet I could go around my building right now and find 10 lessons they found from Pinterest and they are quality lessons. Some are cutesy and lots are quality. THIS might have hooked them on social media:)<br />Thanks for your reflection!<br />MelindaMelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17586355548108122668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-38540587193462799092012-02-19T18:29:11.472-05:002012-02-19T18:29:11.472-05:00Pinterest is definitely addicting!

I joined it prior to starting my education degree and was re-engaged all over again once I started to realize all the amazing boards for educators. I have been following more and more educators and getting some great ideas but I never thought of actually using it in the classroom. Thanks for the post, I will now be thinking of ways that it could be used with students.Mrs Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942930206275684025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-46506316885919807922012-02-19T18:26:50.181-05:002012-02-19T18:26:50.181-05:00I love your ideas!

I have been on pinterest for personal reasons (recipes, craft ideas, decorating ideas, etc) but the uses in the classroom can be wonderful as well. I even think of times I want my students to pretend to be a director for a movie of a novel we just read. They need to create an appropriate cast. They could easily pin photos of actors/actresses to create an entire cast. I'll have to check and see if it is blocked by our internet security at school.Monica Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916645919981086626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-90830742720970396182012-02-19T18:00:38.155-05:002012-02-19T18:00:38.155-05:00i'm intrigued, too... i can "see" th...i'm intrigued, too... i can "see" the uses in my mind but haven't been able to articulate them as specific activities - i'm waiting for my invite and hope playing around will yield more specific ideas...my fear, though, is that it will be blocked by our awful filters as a "social networking" site...ughWinstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09732166728202310564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-72471055998452374782012-02-19T14:36:31.076-05:002012-02-19T14:36:31.076-05:00We used it to create an International Blog Directo...We used it to create an International Blog Directory for all the wonderful Early Childhood Educators out there!

At the beginning of this year, I had students bring in a brown bag with five things (metaphors, really) to explain who they are. But next year I'd like them each to create a Pinterest board for the same purpose!Holly Chesserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03391135591818720659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-38373137349299406992012-02-19T10:58:39.543-05:002012-02-19T10:58:39.543-05:00Like Debbie, I definitely agree that I like Pinter...Like Debbie, I definitely agree that I like Pinterest better than ScoopIt (mainly because of the limited features of the free version).

I have had to put off interacting with it too much because I am afraid it will take over my life:) I definitely plan on it, though. I think Pinterest especially appeals to visual learners, as opposed to diigo/delicious. In addition, it is cleaner looking to me than ScoopIt, which I find visually confusing. Another powerful tool with unlimited possibilities for educators.DebbieFucohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948447338339103727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-60019115409332445592012-02-19T10:20:00.709-05:002012-02-19T10:20:00.709-05:00Here is an example a project by one of Jerrid Krus...Here is an example a project by one of Jerrid Kruse's students http://sarah-hutch.blogspot.com/2011/12/fourth-tech-project-pinterest.htmlEric Sheningerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733305358794643322noreply@blogger.com
