A Teacher’s Guide to Pinterest

What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is essentially a virtual bulletin board. 
The user can click on an image or pin and go to the full website the image is on for further information. If you find the idea or activity useful, you can pin the image to a board of your choice. This pinning saves the image for easy reference in the future. Virtual pinning eliminates the need to cut out articles and place them in a binder or bookmark a website only to be forgotten about.

Board

Feed
A feed is a collection of pins from the people, boards and interests you follow. This is the first stream of pins you see when you login to your Pinterest account.
