Inspired by Dr. Parlo, I realized that Pinterest can be an
excellent website for students’ leisure time. With its eyes-appealing pictures,
Pinterest can make students more enthusiastic about science and nature, which
can motivate them to explore them. Pinterest also encourages the Do It Yourself
(DIY) spirit through its artistic uniquely pictures, which often times include instructions.
Pinterest advocate the positive lifestyle with healthy diet pictures.
Pinterest becomes a
potent competitor for students’ leisure time, along with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube
and etc. When students are dazzled with so many website choices, it is teachers’
time to guide students’ interests towards a more beneficial one, such as
Pinterest. To foster students’ habits in Pinterest, teachers can set up and
manage pinboards on which students can pin or repin on a group basis; Teachers can
assign students to find their favorite Pinterest pictures to share with classmates
in class; Teachers can arrange some crafts-making homework, where students need
to follow instructions on Pinterest in order to accomplish the desired crafts.
