Make+Connections

** Connecting with Other Educators ** Following People or Boards: When you log in to Pinterest on your home page you will see pins by people that you follow. You can follow:
 * People - If you follow a person you will see everything that they've pinned recently on your home page when you log in.
 * Boards - If you follow a specific board you will only see the items that are pinned to that board.

Unlike facebook you do not have to follow a board or a person to view their Boards or Pins

Liking a Pin:

If you like a Pin it will appear in your likes at the top of your home screen. I like things that I think are neat but that I realize aren't very useful to me.

 Commenting : You can comment on your own pins or on pins of others. You don't have to repin or like a pin to comment on it. If you are pinning or repinning comments I suggest that you comment on your pin so that other people understand why you pinned the item or what the link will lead the to.

 Finding Educators to follow:


 * 1) Follow your friends that are teachers.
 * 2) Go to the Education Board on Pinterst and find pins that match your interests. Click on the persons name to get to their boards and follow the ones you're interested in.
 * 3) Look for the Follow Me on Pinterest buttons on your favorite blogs or educational websites.

I've created a [|Google Doc] that you can add your username/ Pin Board link to. This will be a great place to collaborate and find teachers that teach at the same grade level or in the same subject area.
