Do you use pinterest? What kind of boards do you have?

I have one for animal crossing, one for tat inspiration, one for nails, one for wedding inspiration, and that's it I think
 
I have boards for each Animal Crossing game I have (New Leaf, City Folk, GameCube, and Happy Home Designer), a Tomodachi Life board, and a general video games board.
 
My boards: Dream wedding, beauty, travel inspiration, DIYs, cute animals, health food, junk food, and fashion interests. ^_~
 
I use Pinterest a lot, both professionally and personally.

As an Educator it's a great source of inspiration for experiences and activity set-ups, although I don't actually "do" most of the ideas as presented (too adult-led ; stuff that makes us "look good" rather than offers meaningful learning opportunities to children). It's a brilliant source for ideas on how to use "x" resource though, better than any google search lol. I have 12+ boards for things from "assorted printables" to "sensory play recipes I actually use" (as opposed to the "things to try!" board where untested recipes go) to a generic "children" board that has good links and even 'meme' style images which explain some aspect of childhood in a positive/productive way. Often, I'll save things onto multiple boards as which makes it easier for me to find particular things later. I hate wasting a lunch break trying to find that *one* link I know is around here somewhere lol.

Personally, I mainly use it to keep track of gift wish lists, my own as well as for others. I have "art" and "funny comeback" boards which I use a lot, but much of my own art/craft stuff has been ignored in recent years so my craft-related pins are usually for work stuff haha.

I find Pinterest is great if you are aware of the pitfalls and use it as a tool to help, like most social media apps.

Funny, I never even thought of using it for teaching purposes. I work in education too, think il be putting this idea forward to my class when I go back into work. I'm thinking it would be useful in PSHE lessons. Can probably tweak it so it's suitable for all of them
Thanks for that :) it's funny the things you don't even think about until somebody else suggests it :)
 
I have a Pinterest where every single board is something Pokemon related. I've been thinking about expanding my horizons and starting to post more Nintendo stuff.
 
i use pinterest a lot, mainly when i'm not able to reblog things on tumblr anymore haha.
i have a board for b&w anime junk, animals, lyrics, tv shows, video games, writing prompts and such, my favourite characters, things i've done, things i want to do, wtnv stuff, animal crossing paths and clothing, harry potter, pictures that make me feel nostalgic, middle earth stuff, marvel stuff, and finally tattoos...

i mostly just pin things to my writing board, though.
 
I use it mostly for recipe storage, but I also have boards for some crafting things, tattoo ideas, and ACNL stuff! ^-^
 
I don't use Pinterest often, but I sometimes go on just to dig up pure cringe and have a good laugh. I haven't seriously used the site, though.
 
i only have 2 pinterest account because it forces you to register to see more images >_>
first one was around Julne / July 2015 for ACNL and second one was September of this year bc reasons :U
 
I only use Pinterest for fashion, particularly the cute pastelly stuff, maybe some animal crossing, and Lolita!
I only very rarely use it though, it isn't really ~inspiring~ to me?
 
hell ye, i mostly use it for fashion inspiration n stuff
 
I don't pin to it anymore, but I do use pinterest to look up animal crossing qr codes that people have pinned lol. I have soo many boards on mine and they are all random but related to lifestyle :o
 
I do have an account, but I don't use it too often. Like once or twice every month.
I have many different boards. I've got boards dedicated to many different animes, mostly. :p
 
I only use it rarely. Like I used it for the first time in months last week to get some tattoo ideas. :P
 
I use it a lot, it's a lot of fun. I have 1.3K pins and all sorts of boards- wishlists, J-Fashions, food, recipes, jokes, infographics, information, tutorials, Asian culture, circle lenses, make-up tutorials, nails, hair...ACNL QRs, life hacks, seasonal boards, etc., but still only 8 followers lol.
Plus I have 480 likes that I need to transfer to boards, because EVERYTHING MUST BE PINNED ON A BOARD FOR ME.
I like posts when I'm too lazy to pin, but don't want to forget them.
Pinterest is life. I love looking through my massive boards when I'm bored haha
