Here are some quick tips for teachers looking to improve their use of Pinterest to connect with like-minded peers:

• Give your board a good cover photo.
• Arrange your boards to suit both design and strategy (put your best boards up top, in the centre).
• Optimise your board title and board description by integrating keywords. Remember that Pinterest boards are indexed by Google.
• Make your words count: use prose, not simply a bunch of hashtags – these don’t work on Pinterest.
