Media: Experiments In Pinterest

I'm just as sick of new "must-have" programs as you are and doing my best to avoid them as long as possible, but still I'm playing around with Pinterest, the somewhat new image-sharing site that has been getting a lot of attention.

My first pinboard is "Hot For Education 2012," a version of my Hot For Ed Tumblr, which includes images and videos that I don't have time to blog about (or are too silly -- yes, there's such a thing).  

It's no great shakes, so far -- sort of like Tumblr and Twitter.  Nothing that will change your life or make you a better parent, teacher, or blogger.  But there's a lot of energy at Pinterest, and that's nice.  And it's awfully easy to use.  

Take a look if you're curious.  Are there good people or pinboards to follow that I should know about?  Let me know if you want an invitation to join the site.

Having played around with it a little myself, I've mostly come to realize that very little of my time online involves enjoying pictures of things so much that I want to encourage other people to look at them.

Twitter and Pinterest dont make you a better teacher? Then you're following the wrong people. :-)
