Hi, my name is Lauree and I am a Pinterest addict. Yep, it's true. I have fallen in love with a great site, so much so that I have become obsessed. Just what is the appeal? Well, imagine if you will a site that allows you to save links to cool items, articles, websites, and funny memes. Pinterest is a virtual collection of "pin" boards created by the user. When you find a link, you create a pin to it under whatever board makes the most sense. But Pinterest is more than just a collection of favorite things. It has become a networking site, a place to advertise business interests, connect to blogs and bloggers, and a resource bonanza.
When you get started on Pinterest, you will find many connections to resources and lessons in addition to personal interests. Be sure to follow some of your favorite pinners, especially if they have the same interests you do. You will find some beneficial posts and ideas for your own library or classroom use. Here are some great pinners to check out for a start:
All Things Upper Elementary Blog Teachers Pay Teachers
Hello Literacy School Library Displays Library Learners
When you get to Pinterest, plan to spend a good amount of time getting pins and pin boards put together. You will get lost in the wonderland that is Pinterest, and that can be a good thing. Just give yourself some time to enjoy the journey.
