What is Pinterest?
What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is a virtual bulletin board allowing users to pin different images which often link to different websites. Through this format, users are able to organize their pins or bookmarks. “Social networking sites like Pinterest can serve as online learning environments, providing a forum for preservice teacher [and working teacher] development alongside content learning and sharing” (Chapman & Ortlieb, 2015, p. 260).

Pinterest Introduction.mp4Additional Information?
Additional Information?
- You can follow specific people and their boards if there is a certain theme you are wanting to see more of. You can locate this in the top right menu near your name.
- You can comment or add a photo to someone's pin after initially clicking on the photo from the main feed and then either choosing the photo or comment button.
- You can further customize your boards, by placing the pins into further categories called "sections." For example my math board can have smaller sections within it called Integers, Area & Perimeter and Multiplication, making it easier to find exactly what I'm looking for in the future.
