Google Tidbit: Collections in Google+
Google Plus has so many features that are often overlooked.  Today's tidbit will focus on a "pinterest type way" to use your Google+ account called Collections.  Collections allow you to create a collection of the things you want to come back to later.  They are a great way to collect the information in your stream into a usable format.  So how do you get started?

1. Go to your Google+ Account and find the Collections

2. Create a collection  and  give it a name just like you would give a board a name in Pinterest - my collection is going to be "Cool Ideas".  At this point you would also set the visibility of your collection as well - I set mine visible to "Johnston County Schools"


3. Now you want to pin items to your collection - so as you find things in Google+ that you want to save you simple go to the arrow and send it to your collection.

4.  Now you can search for other collections you'd like to follow or make more collections for yourself.

Happy Collecting!
