Module 1 Assignment 9 "Pinterest"

Pinterest has been mentioned in a lot of conversations during my grade level's planning meetings.  Most of the  "cool" ideas that my colleagues bring to the table are from "Pinterest."  Now I am a part of that!  At first I was a little confused about the difference between Delicious and Pinterest, but I think I now know how I can use both.  

I would use Delicious for specific websites that I don't want to lose...my favorites, or just websites that I need in the future.  I would use Pinterest for specific "parts" of websites I would like to use.  For instance, I have 2 boards on Pinterest, one for "Daily Five" and one for "Ideas for Little Girl Rooms."  I think one benefit of Pinterest is the way I can group my interests into "boards," much easier than having to navigate through a website.  I also like the image coming with your "pin."  That helps as well when looking for a specific idea.

  

Pinterest is also useful in that I can access it on any device, something I can't do if I just save things to "My Favorites."  Plus, "My Favorites" doesn't get full of temporary websites.

I plan to continue to become acquainted with Pinterest even after this class!
