A couple of months ago I (meaning International Higher Education Consulting) jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon and you can find me/IHEC at http://pinterest.com/IHECBlog/. I must admit that my time on the site has been limited and I don't have much on the the IHEC Blog but I do hope to change that as it seems relatively easy to Pin things...stay tuned!
