Yesterday I had a “drive by” consult with an art teacher soon to go on sabbatical focusing on art and technology. I’ll be working on schools for her to visit and resources to explore. I Tweeted for suggestions from online friends for using technology in art. The first thing that came back to me was Pinterest. It’s a tool that lets you “pin” online content to a wall for future use.
Julio Ojeda-Zapata in our local Pioneer Press had a story on it in Sunday’s paper: If you have an interest, Pinterest . He also has a companion piece: What’s with all the pinning, anyway?
When I did the search for Pinterest in art classrooms, this is what I saw:
