The Teacher's Guide to Pinterest - Part 2: Follow Your Interests
Use Pinterest to Follow What Interests You!
Pinterest is a powerful search engine for finding and discovering new ideas, DIY projects, beautiful infographics, AND a phenomenal tool for finding and curating classroom resources! I promise you Pinterest is NOT just for women looking at crafts and recipes! So just in case you don’t believe me, I have put together this guide for teachers, educators, and educational leaders looking to make the most out of Pinterest.
Today’s post is focused on a lesser-known way to discover pins that interest you. Did you know you can not only follow people and boards, but you can follow topics that interest you? I just began exploring this option, and it has opened up a whole new world. But I wish Pinterest made this easier to do…
To follow your interests, start with one of the Pinterest categories, like “Education.” (Click here to see Pinterest categories.) After selecting a category, you will see related interests at the top.
Once you have selected an interest, a small, red “follow” button will appear. This allows you to follow interests just like following a person or a board.
