eduClipper Is What Teachers Want Pinterest To Be


eduClipper Is What Teachers Want Pinterest To Be


Ok.  So this may come as a shock to you all, but I'm not really a Pinterest kind of guy.  Whatever that means.  But I do know what Pinterest is and I do know several people that get a lot of ideas for both their everyday lives and their classrooms from Pinterest, so I saw this article and thought that I had to share it.  

This idea of eduClipper sounds amazing.  I wonder if it is like a combination of Delicious and Pinterest on steroids.  It seems that the users will be able to bookmark sites like with Delicious but then also add PPT, PDF, images and video to the site.  That sounds great and what an amazing tool to be able to share with colleagues.  The article also mentions that Google Drive documents can be added to eduClipper boards but that the truly amazing part that teachers will love is that you can create classes with class boards and allow students to access these class boards.  Teachers will have control over what can be shared and control over the comments that are posted. 

I can't wait to check this out in more detail.  I guess it is getting added to my long list of things that I want to do with my classes.  By the way, that list is getting so long that I am being to wonder where I should even start.  C'mon technology, slow down!!!!! :)

  2. This sounds fabulous! I also am addicted to Pinterest, just like Whitney. I find myself pinning ideas for school but I always find a lot for elementary classrooms. I will have to check eduClipper out and see if you can search specific grade levels and content areas. Great suggestion Dave!
