What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is cloud-based.

What is Pinterest?Pinterest is a bookmarking site.
You can search for, collect and organise images/websites/videos.
It's a social network
(Unlike Google) You follow people.
● Find experts in the field
● Find organisations, educators, curators,scientists...
● Look at who these people follow and piggy-back them also.
● If you find the right people, you can ‘help yourself’ to their collections.

How does this enhance student learning?
● Increase student engagement because students own their own collections (boards) and take charge of their learning
● Passive to active - students do not rely on teacher to provide learning resources
● Opportunities for differentiation and passion-driven learning● Sharing amongst peers increases community (social learning)● Collaborative practices increased● Connection to real-world, not textbook but people (experts)
Higher order thinking
● Development of higher order thinking through evaluation of quality, relevant resources, selection and organisation
● Creation of conceptual collections
Digital literacies
● using the search function to find pins, pinners, boards
● locating experts (evaluating people as authoritative/expert)
● curating online
Differentiated teaching
● When you look at student boards, the quality of their choices reveals their thinking processes, ability to research and understanding
of topic/theme/ category.
● Quick way of checking students’ understanding of the topic
What is your focus?
Find and share what you see.
