Pinterest, what’s the fuss? In the fast-paced world of Internet start-ups and social media companies Pinterest has been around for a couple of years already. It has however gained a lot of interest in the past few months after high profile names start using it, and a slightly dubious legal issue it needs to address (more later). But, what is Pinterest?

Elle concerne également le fait d'harceler une personne. Les moyens employés sont nombreux : le courriel;les salons de clavardage (chat room); les groupes de discussion; les sites Web;les messageries instantanées.

How Educators Are Using Pinterest for Showcasing, Curation Pinterest is the “in” site of 2012, and its phenomenal growth has sparked interest among millions of users. It’s also spread to journalism educators, who are increasingly experimenting with it in the classroom. The social network launched two years ago, but in recent months has drawn red-hot excitement for its unique visual, topic-based curation approach. While its 10 million users, especially women, are drawn to it almost obsessively, brands, media firms and news organizations have also planted flags on the network. Now J-school faculty are increasingly in on the act. From ‘mood boards’ to ‘survival boards’ One early adopter was University of Southern California’s Andrew Lih, who last October, long before he and many others knew the site would become a blockbuster, introduced it to online students in an entrepreneurial class to gather what he called a “mood board” for a project on public art.

Third grade teacher Sally Kittleson remembers, "Walking down the hall in our building, and seeing another teacher post a really cute idea that I'd never seen before. The answer -- Pinterest. "Once I found it I was an addict," said second grade teacher Sharon Chesnut. While many people use Pinterest to find recipes or plan a party, educators feel they've landed on a goldmine of information. "I wish I had the creativity of some of the people.
