Thing #6

"Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes. You can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests."

I really like pinterest.  I am getting married in August, and I use pinterest to pin any ideas that I come across.  I have public boards as well as private boards.  One of my public boards is my wedding board. I browse through the wedding category and look at pictures that other people have posted that deals with weddings.  If I like it, then I will either "pin it" or "like it."  If I "pin it" then it will show up under my wedding board, if I "like it" then it will show up under all of the pictures that I liked.  On pinterest, you can have people following your board.  Which means that there is probably something on your board that they like and want to see if you post more things like it.  I love everything about pinterest.  I am always using my Iphone app and browse through the categories, mainly wedding.  I think that this site will be useful for students.  I can assign a project for my students to complete, and pinterest can give them plenty of ideas of how to start and finish the project.  Also they can make their own boards and upload their projects so other students can follow it.  I love pinterest and I do think it can be useful in a classroom.

  1. Sara, I am new to this pinterest thing, and I have discovered that there are so many things and great ideas posted on the site. I also learned that my son's kindergarten teacher often uses pinterest for lesson plan ideas and worksheets as well as song and dance videos for their play time. I think that it is great and I look forward to checking out the site even more!
