Pinterest


 * [[image:pinterest-logo.jpg width="121" height="65"]] || This page contains resources to help you create an account and begin using Pinterest. Pinterest is a free tool that allows you to create bulletin boards with pinned visuals such as images, or videos, that behave like bookmarks, and are linked back to the website that they came from. Send your students a link to an entire "board" of "pins"-- they won't need a Pinterest account to look at what you've sent. They can view the image or video, the source website, leave a comment in the threaded discussion, and add the "pinned" resource to their own board. Boards can be public, shared with only those you invite, or kept completely private. Forbes refers to Pinterest as the third most popular social networking site, after Facebook and Twitter.

Use Pinterest to create boards focused upon a topic to collect and share related concepts, news, and articles, and to collaborate and share comments. Link to relevant evidence and examples to support your own analysis, argument, reflection, or description. ||  ||
