My New Best Friend...Pinterest

Remember the olden days when you had a cork board and cut articles out of your favorite teaching magazines of things you wanted to try? Pinterest is a virtual pinboard that lets you organize and share all of the amazing things you find on the web. The best part is that you can browse boards created by your fellow educators-collaboration at its finest!

Are you on Pinterest? If not, e-mail Colin or Angie to request an invitation. You will need to have a Facebook or Twitter account.

If you are, I would HIGHLY recommend you start following the LiNC team. (And by team.... I mean crazy Pinterest Queen Angie M.) http://pinterest.com/lindberghlinc/ You will not want to miss out on all of the awesomeness we will be posting to our boards.
