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.
Students can use it to find, save and organise content.
eg. Art students can ● collect visual ideas, art info and tutorials. ● They follow their teacher and peers. ● They make choices (individualisation).● They take responsibility for their learning.
What can you imagine your students doing with Pinterest?
Teachers can use it to find experts to follow and pin from.
These are only some of the people/organisations we found.

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)
