This site also allows its users to create "Pinboards" so they can save photos they have "Pinned," Pinterest can be used by teachers who are looking for decorating and organizing their classrooms, needing ideas for new projects, looking to to swap lesson plans, as well as creating virtual field trips, etc. Teachers can also use Pinterest to grow professionally by interacting with other teachers, finding tutorials, and learning how to improve behavior management skills. Possible problems would would be if teachers or students did not know how to "pin ethically" meaning they did not follow the web's copyright laws and did not credit their sources.
