Iowa’s AEAs Launch Statewide Pinterest Site, Sign Up to be a Contributor

According to Edutopia.org, over half a million education pins are made to Pinterest daily by 48.7 million users. This social media site is quickly becoming a go-to site for busy educators in search of lesson plans, book recommendations, classroom organization ideas and more. To assist Iowa educators, the AEAs have developed a statewide Pinterest site at http://pinterest.com/iowaaea/. 

The Pinterest site is a collaborative project of the state’s nine AEAs and content is added by AEA consultants from across the state. The 35 pinning boards provide a visual, dynamic forum that informs parents, educators and school administrators about AEA programs and resources, as well as other quality, credible ideas and resources relating to education.
