Mobilizing Faculty into the Future: Using Online Technology as Teaching Tools

• Describe your Pin [type the article title or capture/cut and paste; ADD three (3) spaced dashes - - - and provide
your own summary comments about the article
• Click “Pin It”
• On your newly created Pin itself, click “Edit”
• Add the URL link
• Click “Save Pin”
4. Verify your loaded Pin by clicking on your name and your Board title; your pinned article should appear
5. Be aware that Pins appear on your Board with the most recent Pin listed first. Thus, if you desire a specific order
for Pins, you’ll want to load the desired LAST Pin first and work back to the desired FIRST Pin, or you can Repin items
in a forced order and then delete the duplicates. For our purposes as a first-time assignment, do not worry about
your Pin order.
HOW TO EDIT
• After reviewing your Pins, you may want to change wording.
• Add text to your Pins using the Edit function on each Pin.
PROTECTING PRIVACY
1. Including your picture on Pinterest is strictly optional
2. Your self-description can be quite non-specific
3. Under “Edit Profile” you may activate the Search Privacy button to “Prevent search engines from including your
profile in their search results.”
4. Again under “Edit Profile,” leave “off” Social Network links to Facebook and Twitter
VERY IMPORTANT -- SHARE YOUR PINTEREST ADDRESS
• So that instructor and classmates may read your Pins, please list your Pinterest address [for just this class project]
on our class Google Drive document: [add link here]
• The Google Drive document will list all addresses for everyone in the class. You will use this list to complete the
email assignment that is part of this project.
• See separate assignment explanation in D2L Content files for the email assignment. (15 pts)
CREATE A WORKS CITED PAGE (10 pts)
1. This Report project addresses a “research” experience as part of our course curriculum. To document your engagement
in that experience, create a Works Cited page that lists all of your Pin sources.
2. Again, see the sample Works Cited page prepared by your instructor, as posted in the D2L Content files.
3. Use the “References” Tab in Microsoft Word to help you record and organize the source information.
• Include a minimum of 8 sources
• List sources alphabetically by author
• Single space within entries; double space between entries – the Microsoft Word “References” Tab will automatically
do this for you
• Include date of article (if available) and date of access
WRITE a MEMO of TRANSMITTAL with EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (35 pts)
