How Educators Are Using Learnist

How Educators Are Using Learnist | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Learnist, as many have already pointed out, works much like Pinterest — a way to catalog online resources on a topic and share them with the user’s social network. And like Pinterest, it looks like a digital bulletin board with pictures and messages, and connects with Facebook accounts. In fact, the site’s “learning boards” look quite a bit like Facebook’s timeline feature, and Facebook membership is required to use Learnist at this point."

Currently in beta you may find that if you request membership you will receive an invitation. In the meantime you may explore some of the information that has been posted by others.

Grockit Launches Learnist, a Pinterest for Education

Grockit Launches Learnist, a Pinterest for Education | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"...Grockit, a social learning company that up ’til now has been focused on test prep. Today, Grockit introduces Learnist which it describes as “a way for anyone to share what they know” and which I’m sure every tech blogger, myself included, will use the “Pinterest for education” comparison."

This site is in beta but they are accepting requests for invites. The possibilities of this, locating online resources, annotating them and ordering them in a logical sequence is something that many folks are already doing with other tools. This one alos allows sharing and commenting. I am looking forward to trying it out in the near future.
