Myself (Learning Technologies Adviser), Kim Donovan (Information Adviser) & Clare Millington (Senior Lecturer in BBS) attended day one of the SEDA conference in Brighton this week. We delivered a workshop called ‘Encouraging ownership and collaborative engagement with subject reading using visual bookmarking tool Pinterest. The workshop was born out of a BBS project to discover a book marking technology that would encourage students read beyond their subject and to help them evaluate their readings.
In the workshop we covered
- Why we used Pinterest
- An icebreaker Kahoot quiz all about Pinterest (the session was post lunch so we wanted to energise the delegates)
- Setting up accounts and the basics of using Pinterest
- A Pinterest pinning challenge, called Cats vs Dogs
- Examples of how Clare has used it with her students in BBS
- A discussion about how delegates might use it in their own teaching
