Pinterest for Education
Pinterest, the latest social media site, lets you organize and share videos, links and images found on the Web using “pinboards.” Teachers have been joining this latest craze, using it to organize class projects and to explore certain topics with their students. It can be used to create resource boards, share links among colleagues at a conference, or to collaborate with others on specific projects. These creative electronic bulletin boards can be easily shared, as each new board has a separate link.
