Optimum Organization - Pinterest Boards

If you currently follow me on Pinterest, I wanted to let you know that I created an account exclusively for school to help keep things more organized. When I looked at my pins, it was a jumble of things that I was pinning to help out friends or pins for giveaways mixed with things that I actually wanted to use myself or my classroom. I also wanted to do more collaborative boards, but didn't want those pins dominating my feed since a lot of them didn't interest me. So I got a chance to start fresh by creating an account geared towards helping others instead of myself, and looky what I did!

I went to PowerPoint and made title pages for all of the boards that I thought that I wanted and saved them as pictures. I tried to make them specific so that others could find things easily, like making Math and ELA instead of just School Stuff. I uploaded them one-by-one to make new boards. They automatically became the cover pictures for the board. If you wanted to do this on your own boards, you could add the title pages to an already-existing board. Then you have to go back and hover over the current cover picture in order to be able to change it to that new title page that you pinned to that board. It sounds confusing, but it's really not. I would be happy to talk (well, type) you through it.

Then searched Pinterest for the boards on my personal account that I wanted to reorganize and transfer. I starting repinning like crazy to my new boards. It's still a work in progress, as you can see that I only have around one hundred pins and two followers at the moment :( I know that will grow and it will help me keep my blog life separate from the original reason that I use Pinterest, which is to pin things that I want to make sure that I can find again. I think that it looks really attractive and easy to navigate. I am also looking for collaborative board to which I can contribute. If you run one about fifth grade, ELA, social studies, organization, or something else that I know about, please comment with the link to it so I can check it out! I might ask you for an invite! :)

These lovely ladies gave me the inspiration for my boards - Teacher's Toolkit, Teach with Laughter, Cynthia, Cyndie, The Fun Factory, and Ms. Smarty Pants.
