It is highly visual and many users create numerous boards, usually arranged by topic, that contain these links, called pins. It is a form of visual bookmarking that is widely used and promoted by educators with a recent dissertation finding that more than 70% of pre-service teachers who responded to a survey indicating that Pinterest was a moderately important or important resource for lesson planning (Trytten, 2017).
