Most educators I know (~150) that work in the school systems near me (primary, secondary and postsecondary). Most use listservs as their closed ecosystem of specialists, and Pinterest as their open-world system to find new educational materials.
How does this add depth or quality to those already existing structures?
- codingdave 11y agoI'm not sure professional educators are going to be the audience that would use this. They already have curriculum and resources planned out, and often directly provided by their districts. Homeschoolers and autodidacts would seem to gain more value from this service.
- freetonik 11y agocodingdave is right, eduhunt is targeted towards general public, mainly those who are interested in self-learning. I consider myself an average eduhunt consumer. Sometimes when I try to learn something new, say, cooking (still trying though), I usually google and go to reddit and search for resources for beginners in related subreddits. I usually find some great things, but it takes a lot of time time. Instead, I'd love to have a list of best upvoted links that is being updated constantly. This is what I have in mind for eduhunt. It is interesting to hear that professional educators use Pinterest as a source for educational materials. Another unexpected use of Pinterest.
