As pinterest keeps on growing, more teachers are finding creative ways to use the network, Pinterest is an image bookmarking service which enables its registered users to created unlimited Pin-Boards to bookmark and organize images of their choice. Teachers have also decided to take the network to another step, by turning it as an educational tool which they can use to organize educational materials like infographic images, videos and pictures.
Since the service is free, teachers find it easy to join and use the network, another advantage with Pinterest is that a teacher can create a group pin board for their classroom or other educators, this helps in quick discovery of educational content and it also boosts teacher’s collaboration with their students or other educators on the network. Today I have compiled some of the top boards for teacher on Pinterest.
