Pinterest for Teachers: Follow "Power Pinners"

Pinterest is an online platform for sharing ideas, organized as visually appealing "pins" on a virtual bulletin board. One of the main benefits for Pinterest users is seeing what others have bookmarked, so it's a good idea to follow others who actively use the platform.

You probably already follow friends, colleagues and experts, but are you also following "power pinners" who can greatly enhance your user experience? Check out this list of five must-follow Pinterest users.
