What are resource pins?

In Mastery Connect, resource pins are files, images, or web sites that reference teaching resources. For example, you may have a resource pin for a PDF lesson about the water cycle, or you may know of a good URL for practicing addition skills.

When you add these teaching resources as Mastery Connect resource pins, you can organize them and share them with others. You can organize resource pins into resource playlists. Each pin is associated with a subject, core, class, and standard, and you can filter on these values. You can also interact with pins by re-pinning them, liking, or commenting on them.
