Follow Lit with Lyns’s board Lit w/ Lyns on Pinterest.
The key to using Pinterest effectively is organizing your boards, so that they can serve their purpose when needed (if only I could practice what I preach). It’s important to follow other pinners that have similar interests. Since I teach middle school, I look for boards that have info for secondary teachers, such as, Secondary Education Collaborative Board.
Follow Education with DocRunning’s board Secondary Education Collaborative Board on Pinterest.
My goal is to start incorporating Pinterest into my class projects by creating boards on particular topics. Then students can go to the specified board for research and other pertinent information. I still have to work out the kinks and will have to get advice from other incredible teachers who already do this, such as Mrs. Spangler in the Middle. Check out her post about how she uses Pinterest with her students! Great ideas!!!

It is really true that it's addicting. One pin leads you to another and you just get lost!! 🙂 I love the idea of getting your students on pinterest for research. I hope it works well for you! Good luck.
