I’m happy to hear that other visually-oriented learners find my boards useful… Will definitely keep making new ones! Pinterest is great for picture dictionaries, but we use it for other types of activities. For example, I think a lot of students (and teachers) misuse PowerPoint by writing too much text on the slides and then relying on that for notes. Instead of PPT, have your students use Pinterest for a visually-striking presentation. I also came up with a lesson plan for creative writing that uses one of my boards.
