What is
Pinterest?
Pinterest is a
tool for collecting and organizing the things you love. Browse boards created
by others to discover new things and be inspired by people who share your
interests. People use boards to plan lessons, get ideas for curriculum,
plan their trips, decorate their homes, and share their favorite recipes.
