Pinterest and Delicious

Pinterest and Delicious are not thought to be academic related sites in common talk. However, these sites can be used for students to find visual aids related to their work in the classroom.
The site is easy to use and people can create their own boards to “pin” things to. It could be particularly helpful in the fine arts, such as photography, but could also be used for faculty to post various art pieces for history related classes.
For example, a professor can create a class page with a common password and username, and assign the students to pin five examples of Existentialist artwork, then review the pins in class to explain what works and what doesn’t.
