The so-called "Pinterest for Educators"
Disclaimer: I'm not really a Pinterest fan, but this seemed interesting.....
Pindex was launched by Stephen Fry early last year.
It is a a self-funded online platform that creates and curates educational videos and infographics for teachers and students.

Larry Ferlazzo wrote the following about Pindex:
It really is a “knock-off” of Pinterest, so one might wonder why the world needs it. I think it might be useful to educators for two reasons — one, with luck, since it’s focused on education, school content filters might not block it as so many do Pinterest; and, secondly, because it has a nifty quiz-making feature that lets track if students have completed them. In other words, teachers can create a board which students study, followed by a quiz. After students complete a quiz (after they have registered for Pindex), their username appears under the quiz for its creator to see.
