Why Teachers Should Use Pinterest


Increasingly, learning is happening online, so it’s no surprise that bulletin boards have also moved online. Enter Pinterest. Teachers can now use Pinterest to stay organised, plan lessons, find resources, plan projects and find interesting activities that other teachers across the world are using – talk about collaborative planning. If you haven't already joined Pinterest then you really should! 

With hundreds of accounts to follow and endless classroom boards, it can be overwhelming to know who to follow. With this in mind, Kent-Teach have compiled a list of our favourite educational Pinterest-ers to get you started:
