WHAT IS PINTEREST?“Pinterest is the world’s catalog of ideas. Find and save recipes, parenting hacks, style inspiration and other ideas to try.” (Pinterest, 2017)

Pinterest is a digital bulletin board for visual discovery and collection/storage of images and links for the user

They conceptualize Pinterest as like a physical pin board

Who uses Pinterest?

You follow the board and then I add you as a collaborator so you can add your own links

PINTEREST BOARD SETUP

All links with topics in hashtagsHelps to find content2 to 3 labels of what is

Can search through board for topic of interest

Easy to scroll through as well

POSTING FROM EXTERNAL SITES

Many sites have a button for sharing content directly to Pinterest

BOARD GOING FORWARDGoing forward the idea is that people will follow the site

I will then add you as a collaboratorThis will allow you to add your own pins

Builds an online place for finding clips and links

Can also share pins to own board for easy reference

Future:Could potentially have multiple boards more directly targetedCould create boards for students to share as well (got an existing paper on that in in MTR)
