WELCOME TO…

Pinterest and Polyvore in the

Classroom

Let's begin with a get to

know you!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

You'll find boredom where

these is the absence of a

good idea.

~Earl Nightingale

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.

KISS

LOVE THE BAD KIDS.

WHEN IN DOUBT, WEAR HATS.

WORKSHEETS ARE NOT FUN.
