One of my favorite new things is Pinterest. At first I was skeptical, but then I realized how much fun pinning and repinning could be .
Even though I’m retired from teaching, I substitute and still want to keep up with current educational trends. Through Pinterest, I’ve discovered wonderful educational blogs, such as Lil’ Country Kindergarten and thefirstgradeparade.blogspot.com. Both of these keep current with educational trends for young children.
Pinterest is a great way not only for finding blogs, but also for marketing products and ideas. Since I’m a children’s author, I created one board for my books and another for my website and blog. I have twelve boards in all with titles such as Fun for Kids, Educational Ideas, Ideas and More, Writing Tools, and Books Worth Reading. I’m sure over time I’ll add even more.
There are similarities to Facebook and Twitter, such as following and being followed, but you don’t have to do either to repin an item from someone’s board. If you haven’t checked out Pinterest yet, I hope you will because it is a lot of fun.
Before you leave my blog today, take a look at Katrena Allison’s guest-blogs posted during the month of June on the subject of the Music-Writing Connection. The next guest-blogger could be you. I’m especially looking for thoughts and ideas on education. If interested, leave a comment or send me a message on Facebook.
