Liane Elias of UNCG Libraries presented this workshop for our Tech Tool Thursdays on Nov 7 2013. As social media changes quickly it can be difficult to know what is a fad and what is worth learning and using. Pinterest, one of the newer social media tools, has been gaining in popularity and can be used as a powerful tool in visual learning. It allows you to create visual book, movie and resource lists that can engage students more fully than simple words. This session showcases the basics for using Pinterest as a planning and teaching tool.
