Pinterest, the teaching tool you need

Education and/or study/learning can be the most beautiful of dedications, but it can also be very thankless. Both teachers and students tend to be victims of demotivation, discouragement and boredom. Students and teachers often complain of a feeling of emptiness that complicates their work. Whatever the reasons for the dissatisfaction felt by participants in training actions, it can be eliminated from the roots if the appropriate tools are introduced..
In my opinion, Pinterest is the best teaching resource we have at our disposal. I imagine you are wondering why precisely this app? What makes it special? And, above all, how to use Pinterest?
You will have your answers shortly, but first reflect on the fact that it is more than proven that ICTs are very beneficial in the classroom (physical or virtual, collective or PLE, formal or self-taught, traditional or flipped room): they increase attention and motivation, They facilitate understanding, increase participation and involvement, develop creativity, encourage curiosity, promote deep learning (global understanding of the subject), etc.
Sometimes, innovating is essential and not being afraid to open new paths, as we already mentioned in Pokémon Go and Pokestops: Training Milestones.
Of all the 2.0 teaching resources that we have at our disposal, Pinterest is the simplest, most complete, versatile and versatile. And, above all, it is the most stimulating.
Regardless of the educational system, the teaching strategy or the teaching-learning method, Pinterest is an excellent instrument to achieve the two primary objectives of any training process: that students learn while enjoying of the process and that the teachers continue to preserve the delusion and the energies from the first day.
