Pinterest as a learning tool: Do the two compute? | ZDNet:


Summary: Pinterest: is it just full of cupcakes and pouting girls, or can it be used as a learning tool?
Pinterest, the latest addition to hybrid forms of social networking, hosts a platform where users can ‘pin’ their favourite images to share with the world.
At first glance, such a service may not seem to have much academic value — but teachers around the world are utilizing Pinterest to make lessons more interactive. Not only can it be used to share ideas and lesson resources, but the notice-board styled platform allows for better organisation of ideas and images than other sites generally support, such as Facebook or Twitter.

GROWTH MINSETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT GROWTH MINDSET A Simple Tool for Fostering Growth Mindset You can have students use an old technology—ballpoint pens—to keep their mistakes and revisions, and their learning, visible.
