PTP - Pinterest

Hello All!!

For the final part of my PTP, I have decided to use Pinterest. I absolutely LOVE this site! I ended up adding more to it than just school related things but it was a fantastic source for my area, FACS.

Questions:

What did you learn about Pinterest?
  • I learned that it can be sometimes difficult to "pin" ALL things to this site. Some require a specific access to pin. It is, however, extremely easy to gather together resources for personal use. Plus others can pin off your boards and make comments.
What instructional problems/opportunities could you use this technology for?
  • This would be a great opportunity for "Meal Planning" or projects to work on for the students. I could see what they are working on and it would be VERY easy for others to communicate with each other.
What are 2-3 activities you could use this technology for in your own teaching? List the instructional standards if you can identify them.
  • Group Projects
  • Personal Meal planning
  • Home budgeting
  • Interior Design Ideas

Thanks!!

  1. Good insights to Pinterest. I did this as a technology project as well. I'm assuming you're a health education major-it would be awesome to use this for meal planning!

  3. I do love pinterest. Mostly because it's fun to look at but it definitely is great for sharing Ideas. I would be amazing if we could just start pinning lesson plans. Actually, I think I will start doing that and see what happens. Or someone should start a teaching pinterest...a teacherest if you will.
