Thing #6

Pinterest is a great website for people with any interest! You have your personal profile and you create personal boards (categories). You can also follow your friends or people who have the same interests.  Then, you can search for products and ideas that interest you and add them to your personal boards. For example, I have a "Future Classroom" board, "My Wedding" board, "Food/recipes" board, and etc. I search through the website for ideas I want to do and I organize them in my boards so they are easily accessible. You can also share things you have done or ideas you want to do. I love this tool! I have the application on my iPhone and I use it any chance I get. It is very addictive. The useful features is the fact that you can organize your "Pins" into boards and they can easily be found. It is almost like a social network among you and your friends or people with similar interest. This website is very helpful in the classroom but more for the teacher than the students. Teachers can find many "Do it yourself" projects for their students.
