TEACHERS MAKE THE WORST STUDENTS.
If you can’t be nice, be quiet.
PARTICIPATE!
Take breaks as needed.
Feedback is appreciated!
Pinterest is a virtual pinboard.
Think of it as an online bulletin board.
It is a way to digitally store ideas,
virtually collaborate, and create mood
boards.
You can create private boards (3)
You can create public boards and invite
other pinners to pin as well!
It has many in class applications and my
students LOVE to use it.
SO WHAT’S PINTEREST?
SO, WHAT’S POLYVORE?
Polyvore is a virtual closet.
It is a little more difficult to
use AT FIRST than Pinterest.
It only works with Google
Chrome at my school.
Can be used in conjunction
with Pinterest.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
Your students will be...• more engaged, interested, having fun, showing and
telling, challenged, creative, quicker, researching (without plagiarism), applying, sharing, collaborating, and a whole lot more.
It's also less messy than making collages with
fashion magazines and it is constantly updating.
Best of all, it's easy to grade because it is VISUAL.
Beware…grading is subjective...
CLASS IDEAS
Apparel
• Cultural Project – See my pinterest board.
6.01 - Dressing for different occasions, different
body shapes
Use Polyvore to create 1 or 3 or 5 outfits
representing...fads, classics, uniforms, style, and on
and on…
Adding text is
simple!
Students can
explain why
they made the
choices they
did.
HOT because
they are
APPLYING.
CLASS IDEAS
6.02 - Pin examples of quality workmanship, good fit/poor
fit
OR Use Polyvore to make an outfit you would wear. Print
it. Hover over the clothing items and record the costs on a
separate sheet. Show the MATH of cost per wear for this
outfit if you will wear it 15 times in a year. Don't forget to
include dry cleaning costs.
CLASS IDEAS
7.01 - Pin the steps you took while doing your own
laundry....explain the pictures and the process of
each step
9.01 - Pin fibers on two boards - Natural and
Manufactured - include the fibers and examples of
each fiber being used in clothing/products
FEELING DEFLATED?
Keep it simple, silly.
No Shame.
Love the bad kids.
When in doubt, wear hats.
Worksheets are as fun to grade as they are to
do….they’re NOT.
