Summary: Pinterest is an easy to use, visual way of assembling and sharing information. Users create "boards" and "pin" images and links to the board. Boards can be collaborative among many users. Users can browse boards of people they are following to find fun and useful links and information. Teachers and other professionals in education can use Pinterest to share teaching-related materials with each other, or make collaborative boards to help each other keep up with the latest teaching trends. Boards can also be created for students to use collaboratively.
Evaluation: Pinterest is very aesthetically pleasing and is another great tool for collaboration online. Because of its visual nature, it can work especially well in creating colorful and imaginative boards for units on art or for younger children. It's also a great networking tool for connecting with like-minded educators and helping each other keep up with what's going on in education today, as well as tools and resources for the classroom.
Examples of Pinterest boards for teachers:
Fun and Free for the Classroom
Eighth Grade Free Resources
Ed Tech (Education & Technology)
