 Pinterest is a social network that allows users to visually share, and discover new interests by posting (known as 'pinning' on Pinterest) images or videos to their own or others' boards (i.e. a collection of 'pins', usually with a common theme) and browsing what other users have pinned (consider it like Google searching for things, but for photo and image results).

It can be used by educators and students to create portable and flexible custom media-rich learning content. It can also be utilized to share and gain access to relevant image information; perhaps required to better illustrate your educational experiences (hopefully in most cases, it is not too difficult to gain permission for information sourced from these spaces*).
