Pinterest Pinterest is a brilliant tool to collaborate, share and learn with

Pinterest boards can be set up so that multiple users can work and contribute to them at the same time. Capitalise on this and ask your students to work on them together to gather research in to one

collaborative space.

Sharing on Pinterest is very simple. All you have to do is make your boards public and let others know your username. Then you can all see each others pins. Some learners prefer this as they keep ownership of their

own boards.

One of the best things about Pinterest is its ability to bring ideas together. You can do this for your students. It’s proven to be

a great learning tool in my class room. Students engage. Research takes place.

Progress is made.

Pinterest is a great place to find lesson resources, wall display posters, amazing

images, printables for use in your lessons - and you can share your resources too - it’s all there. All you have to do is search for it

and then curate your own content; organise ideas; collaborate with others; promote your own work or blog; swap

lesson plans - the uses are many!
