Have you ever found a great idea online that you were going to use later, and then when you go back,you can't find it!
Pinterest can solve that.
You request an invitation at www.pinterest.com. They will send you an email and you get a "pin" control in your bookmark link. Log in to the site, and click on your account (right hand corner of page),there is a drop down menu--click on the link for boards.You can create any number of boards. Some of my boards are: kindergarten teaching ideas, what's for dinner, Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, etc.
Then when you find an idea you want to save, you click on pin (from your bookmarks), and pin the picture onto a board to save. The coolest thing about pinterest is that when you view your board and click on the picture, (your idea), it comes up with the website link. Click on the link, and you go straight to the blog or website.
You can also search pinterest to look at ideas others have posted. This is a great resource when you are looking for something specific: ie. valentine decorations, ideas for achievement days, craft projects, what to make for dinner. When you see an idea on pinterest, put the cursor on the picture and you will see the option of repin. Click on repin, choose your board and click pin it. It will show up on your board.
When you search pinterest, you can type a subject in the search box, or scroll over "everything" to search for a particular subject. You can also click on everything, and you will see a mix of pins.

Be aware, however, that when you click everything, you will see some things that are not desirable. Some people post things that have rude language, and pictures that are offensive.
I still click everything,though, because I like to see the variety of pictures. I always find ideas that I didn't know I was looking for!
So there you have it...pinterest in a nutshell!
Try it out and you might get addicted!
