I am already an avid Pinterest user, so it feels like cheating to write about this one, but I will comment on how I use it professionally. I found that there is a wealth of information for school librarians on Pinterest. Everything from pictures of library displays, to book lists, to tech hits. I am "following" quite a few school librarians and have pinned some of my own findings as well. I also use Pinterest as a quick visual reminder of the YA books I have read. Right now, I have them grouped by year, though I'm not sure that is the best way to do it. When choosing titles for my book talks during student teaching, I found it useful to look at my Pinterest boards to jog my memory. Definitely a great tool. I haven't used it with students yet, though I can think of a lot of ways that it could be fun.
