Pinterest: Medium for sharing ideas

Week 1 Curation
Most of the resources I need for my engineering classes come in the form of downloads and PDF files so I generally save those either into a folder on my computer's desktop. More commonly though, I upload the files to Google Drive so I have them saved and organized in one place and since it is done through Google, I can access all of these files from other computers without the need of a flash drive or external storage device. When I need to keep track of specific websites, I have a bookmark folder in the Google Chrome web browser to which these bookmarks can be saved. I am familiar with Twitter and Pinterest but have never used either before. I would be interested in using Known for class this year simply because it is new and I have never heard of it before. Even without using these websites, I would say I'm doing a pretty good job at organizing online information but would be interested in trying out new curation mediums.

Isn't Google drive wonderful? I always upload my most important documents to Google drive just in case my laptop crashes (God forbid)! All of my research theses and formal lab reports are uploaded onto my drive. It's super convenient since I can access it anywhere with Internet. I have never used Twitter before either until this semester. My molecular lab professor will tweet study guide questions for the midterm, so then twitter became a part of my life. Good news is you don't need an account to see someone's tweets. Pinterest is pretty fun! I have a pinterest, and there are so many creative ideas! You should have a look and see what you can find!
