3. Vocabulary
 Pin- “A pin starts with an image or video you add to Pinterest. You can add a pin from a website using
the Pin It bookmarklet or upload an image right from your computer. Any pin on Pinterest can be
repinned, and all pins link back to their source.”
 Board- “A board is where you organize your pins by topic. You could pin ideas for remodeling your
bathroom to your House Projects board, for example. Boards can be secret or public, and you
can invite other people to pin with you on any of your boards.”
 Follow- “When you follow someone, their pins show up in your Pinterest home feed. You can follow
all of someone's boards or just the ones you like best. To manage who you're following, go to your
profile and click Following.”
 Home Feed- “Your home feed is a collection of pins from pinners and boards you follow. It's updated
every time someone you follow adds a pin.”
