Pinterest

Principal function(s): BookmarkingVirtual pinboards

A platform where users can find and share ideas (also known as pins) by posting images, videos or links to their own or others’ boards. It is a place where users can follow, like and comment on other users’ pins, re-pin content to their own boards, share pins on other social media and embed individual pins on websites. Evaluation: Pinterest is one of the fastest-growing platforms for online content sharing. It is an extremely useful tool for educators as there are growing communities of educators, such as Teachers on Pinterest and Teaching Ideas for Pinterest. In these communities, educators can cooperate with one another, get inspired, and share ideas for lessons, including lesson plans, worksheets, images, webpages, and apps, as well as develop themselves professionally. It is a tool that can enhance both teaching and learning in a visually exciting manner.

Cost: Free with registration
