I
explored Pinterest a s a Curation tool. Pinterest consists of photos which are “pinned”
to a board. It is visually appealing and a source for new ideas.
If I
had to repeat the task or something similar I would approach the task with
confidence. Confident that I would become familiar with the tool as I had with
previous tools.
The
progress I made consisted of becoming familiar with Pinterest relatively quickly.
I created 2 library-related boards, Children’s fiction books and Library crafts. My Pinterest link is: https://www.pinterest.com/carolyntunney/ My view/ opinion/ feeling of the task in the beginning was resistance.
Resistance because it is something new and I may not figure it out. In this
case I figured out and experimented withPinterest relatively easily. My current view is that
learning a new tool may be straightforward and even enjoyable!
I
learned that I need to give time to a task, especially when it is new. Time to
learn and experiment with it. I learned it is best not to move between devices
when learning a new tool as this may cause confusion.
It has
helped my learning as after a successful learning experience I am more
confident about exploring a new and different tool.
I could have applied Pinterest in the past to promote Library Events and
Activities.
Pinterest may be used to promote
the library similar to the Rapid City Public Library’s page. I could use this
tool in my library in the future by creating the following boards: (a)Events
and activities held; (b)books egs. newly published, “my favourite books”,
classics; (c)Local history. I could use knowledge of the Gibbs Reflective cycle 1988 in the
future when learning a new tool and writing the corresponding blog.
