Pinterest for Social Bookmarking

There are many applications that allow you to save ideas and images that you find on the internet and to share them with others.

Among the simplest tools to use is Pinterest which calls itself “The World’s Catalog of Ideas”.  Pinterest Login

While Pinterest is often used to save recipes, photos, and wardrobe ideas, many teachers  use it to save lesson plans, lists, and handouts for teaching.

On Pinterest, you create “boards”, i.e. categories. When you find an interesting web image or web page, you can use an extension loaded in your web browser to save to Pinterest. Or you can load the URL directly in Pinterest.com to save it to your appropriate board. You can add a short description of the “pin” and Pinterest will save the image with the URL for the site or image. You can then “Visit the site” from your Pinterest board.teaching-boardIt’s simple and quick to save ideas, search Pinterest for images that others have saved, and follow boards that curate ideas that interest you. Pinterest will also email you suggestions of  pins and boards it thinks might interest you based on what you have curated on the site.

We have a Pinterest board for this class: MHC Learning in a Digital Age.
