Iowa’s AEAs Launch Statewide Pinterest Site

According to Edutopia.org, a website with evidence-based strategies to prepare students, 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, Iowa’s Area Education Agencies (AEAs) have developed a statewide Pinterest site at http://pinterest.com/iowaaea/.

The Iowa’s AEAs Pinterest site is a collaborative project of the state’s nine AEAs. The site is maintained by AEA consultants from all over the state who specialize in different curriculum and instructional areas. The 35 pinning boards provide a visual, dynamic forum which informs parents, educators and school administrators about AEA programs and resources, as well as other quality, credible ideas and resources relating to education.
