Ed Tech on Pinterest

Follow Shannon’s board Education & Technology on Pinterest.

There is TONS of great Ed Tech content out on the Internet these days and sifting through it is time consuming and can even be futile. If you have Ed Tech idols that you follow on Twitter or that blog you may find that they also have a Pinterest account as well. If you are not Pinning or at least following Pinners you should be. It is simple, just create an account at Pinterest.com (it can link to your Facebook if you want) and start following some of your favorite people by clicking on the Pinterest logo from their blog or website.

Here are a few of my favorite boards:

Thank you Apple!

At the recent Hack the Classroom Event, I did a session on Evernote. As we know Evernote is so robust that a 25 minute session is just not enough time to do it justice. I promised the session attendees that I would create a series of videos to get the most out of Evernote. Well here they are. Continue reading →
