25 Ways To Use Pinterest In The Classroom According To Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy
Social media is a waste of time, they say.
It’ll rot your brain, they say.
Pinterest is all Ryan Gosling, misleading pictures of food, and weight loss tips, they say.
Well, the Ryan Gosling part is mostly true, but it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’re interested using social media in your classroom, we created a “twitter spectrum” last year that offered 25 ways to use twitter in the classroom, organized by complexity.
We followed that up with a similar graphic on using iPads in project-based learning, also organized by complexity, each graphic designed to help you frame your planning around the cognitive activity of students, rather than the tool or technology. And it’s in that same vein that the above image by teachbytes was created.
It organizes different ideas for using pinterest by Bloom’s revised taxonomy. We’ve highlighted several of our favorites below.
