Pinterest is…
Free
Very popular!
Pretty easy to use
A little overwhelming!
Pinterest is… A great resource for posting, collecting, and
organizing things you like.

A social media site
Accessible anywhere
How it works…
Browse through countless categories such as DIY, gardening, education, sports, etc.
You can “like” something, and/or “Pin it”

How it works…
You can create your own boards and organize them however you want.
How it works…
If you like what someone posts, you can “follow” them.
Their pins will show up in your home feed.
Your home feed updates constantly with pins from boards you follow and other pinners.
Pinterest and Education…
Pinterest is a great resource for education!
Also a great way to connect with parents.
Create a board for your class, or maybe your ‘team’ at school.
