¹ Pinterest is a free social media platform that allows users to create online boards that link to various types of visual material including photos and videos. 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).
