Pinterest

Pinterest is a social tool that allows you collect "pins" from various places. You can upload content from your computer, import from the web, or re-pin from an existing user's board. Pinterest boards can assume any topic or focus that you choose. For example, I have a board that centers on Appalachian literature and language and one that focuses on young adult literature verse novels (plus several more under construction).

See the link below for my board on verse novels. @http://www.pinterest.com/ninjarabbit/verse-novels/

As a project with a group of undergraduate students, I had them to create a board that built on a specific literature genre. They were to build the board by including a minimum of 10 pins that highlighted books or literature that fit the genre they selected. In the chart below are some of their examples.
