Pinterest (Alt. Assignment)

My district loves using the latest trends in technology so I had to have a Pinterest account in order to participate in a technology training. I can definitely see the appeal of Pinterest. It's a great medium to share ideas and as they say, "not have to reinvent the wheel" and it allows you to get the perspective of teachers from across the nation and otherwise. However, like I'm sure others who are not creatively apt can attest, it can be extremely overwhelming. Some of the ideas are amazing and I tip my hat off but at the same time I lament, "Can't I just find something simple that gets the job done?" Which is the biggest problem I have with Pinterest...it seems to be filled with only the over the top and takes forever to find something I feel confident tackling myself.
