1 2 3 Come PIN With Me!

I am a Pinterest Pinning Princess and LOVE that site! Click on the link to check out my pin boards.

It’s a super place to share and find ideas.  I, as so many of my students, am a visual learner.

A picture on Pinterest sends my mind into overdrive!

If you haven’t heard of Pinterest click on the link to check out the front page and prepare to go to Happy Land.

Pinterest, simply put, is pinning something of interest to a board.  Just as you would tack something "cool" on a bulletin board.

You can have as many, and any kind of boards that you want.   Mine are mostly about education, because that is what "interests" me. You give your boards a label so you can keep things organized.

People can pop over and check out your boards and "re-pin" something to theirs if they like it,  and so goes our wonderful techno-networking, flourishing in a frenzy of sharing some really interesting items and very creative DIY projects. 

(My "to do" list is beyond belief.  LIke I need another project!)

I just want to say thanks to all of the people everywhere who MAKE and TAKE the time to share all these super ideas; children are blessed daily by extra fun and creative lessons and brighter – happier looking classrooms, run by less-exhausted, more excited teachers.

We run our fingers through the Yellow Pages to find things, why don’t the Pinterest people categorize a list of people in a Red Book?

If you’ve wished for a list of other pinners who pin educational things, well wish no longer; Debbie over at Reachable Rainbows has a Pinterest Link-Up for you!

She’s made an Edu-pinner Directory, a

Primary Directory, an

Early Childhood Directory, and a

Kindergarten Directory.

Click on the link that fits you, scroll to the bottom of her BLUE list of other pinners, click on the blue “Click to enter” words by the "You're next!" phrase.

Copy and paste your PINTEREST URL into her form.

Click back to see that you are the next person listed on the list, and click on the link to make sure it takes you right to your Pinterest Pin Board, so everyone can see all YOUR cool pins!

Woo Hoo for Debbie for this great idea and getting us organized!

Be sure and pin the cover of the directory to one of your pin boards.

It would be nice, if you have a blog, to give a shout out there too.  The more people, the more ideas, the more fun; so pass it on and play it forward!

Come on teachers/home school parents, aren’t we known for our uncanny ability to herd cats?

Let the creativity and excitement begin--PIN!
