#TeacherFriends INTROS! Where are you? Your edu-role? New here? Need Twitter support? How long have you been active on Pinterest?
How do you 'ration' your time on Pinterest? Any self-discipline techniques you're willing to share?
Excited to be back with my #TeacherFriends for tonight's chat. @KweezleQueen big waves hello to you dear friend. We need to plan some time together this spring.
#TeacherFriends I am an author/illustrator of picture books, based on original songs for children that I have written. We live in FL but travel quite a bit!
My other favorite thing, is to speak at conferences from coast-to-coast.
Students were busy today helping each other practice their spelling words and complete some math puzzles! Such great collaborating! #edchat#edtech#teacherfriends
#TeacherFriends Here is the outline for our chat tonight on using Pinterest this spring to support your classroom planning and organization. Follow along and jump right in!
My Pinterest followers now number 200,000+ and I have to admit I have taken a sabbatical there. #TeacherFriends
Here's a scrapbook photo of our GuestEduCelebrity a while back.
#TeacherFriends Q1: How can you use Pinterest for enrichment ideas this spring? Do you have a 'board' for springtime ideas for the classroom? Please share your links to fave spring boards or pins.
Pinterest is so much more than followers, it's really about giving users exactly what they're searching for and users pinning just what they wanted so they don't lose it. #TeacherFriends

Many of my boards are dedicated to my songs, so that I have done the research for you, on specific subjects: ladybugs, pollywogs, lions, giraffes, etc

Q2: We at times have used Pinterest boards to organize across the school board on topics for PLN or for upcoming events. Just keep them secret if they are a work in progress #TeacherFriends
A2: Don’t forget to include your school’s guidance counselor and Resource Teachers who have a wealth of info to share with parents on Pinterest. #TeacherFriends
Private Pinterest boards are great for trying to get a comprehensive plan together and the ability to chat with team members for cohesive team efforts #TeacherFriends
Collaborating on a group board for an upcoming events can make spring planning for carnivals, plays and end of year parties easier and less time consuming with more eyes on the task #TeacherFriends
#TeacherFriends Q3: How can you use Pinterest to keep yourself organized in your classroom this spring? Share your fave Pin URL(s) for classroom organization.
A3: Take advantage on your search by selecting boards instead of just pins when you type in a search term. It allows you to see other users boards that they’ve spent time to create #TeacherFriends

It's all about pinning smarter, not harder and spending less time on the platform and more time with your students and at home with your family. Lots of ways to use Pinterest effectively #TeacherFriends
The advantage is that Pinterest is a hand picked & curated platform giving you just what you're looking for with ideas tools for your classroom #TeacherFriends
Also limiting who you are following to ensure when you log into your account from your phone, tablet or computer you love the Pinterest feed you're seeing, it's a smart feed catered to your likes and interests. #TeacherFriends
#TeacherFriends Q4: What tips do you have for planning the end of the year using Pinterest? What are some pins for the end of the year planning on Pinterest? Share. Share. Share.
A4: Start planning early and recruit your parent volunteers to plan for the end of the school year events, collaborate on a Pinterest board if needed. #TeacherFriends
@EducatorsSpin If I go to my "Spring Board" Could organize it in there as St. Pat's, Easter, plants...etc. #teacherfriends I'm trying to check it out as we tweet.
A4: Take a moment now this spring to Pin fun End of year Activities and Keepsakes and get them set up ahead of time, like this on https://t.co/V1YUrU1byf#TeacherFriends

#teacherfriends I do have one complaint...I can't stand the number of ads. I hadn't used it in awhile and got back on and was shocked. Any way to limit the amount?
A4: There are tons of graduation & end of year ideas on Pinterest, search now and pick ideas that are tested and easy. No need to over do it. Pinterest is there for inspiration #TeacherFriends
A4: Have your Homeroom parent and/or volunteers search for ideas for you and present to you to decide, they most likely will enjoy helping you prepare too to make less work for you #TeacherFriends
Love the child inside yourself. They still live there. My Aunt Denise taught me that. She’d say, “Take care of yourself the way you would take care of that little girl that is still you. Feed her well. Put her to bed on time. Be kind to her. Teach her to be happy.”
Allow yourself to get inspired for next year as you push through the end of the year stress. Set up a new Next School Year board with inspirations from Pinterest that are easily doable, get inspired #TeacherFriends
Our goal this year is for 50,000 kids to experience the magic of film for the first time through free workshops, screenings & school visits at TIFF. #littlefilmlovers

As you're pinning be sure to add the thoughts that come to mind with that article idea you're doing to use. Avoid pins sitting in a empty hole never to be seen again. #TeacherFriends
A5: Take a look at your products and see which ones are your top sellers on TPT. Schedule them out over a long period of time over several boards using a platform like @TailwindApp . #TeacherFriends
I think that one of the nice things about @Pinterest is that it helps teachers clearly see they are not alone in this whole planning craziness and that good ideas are all around us. So many classroom hacks and organization ideas to make it simpler #TeacherFriends
You can add a comment or simply use your pin description to leave yourself detailed sentences, whichever will save you time when you go to use the pin idea. #TeacherFriends
