When first working with
Pinterest, I liked the idea of the most recent pin being the default board cover. It was rather 'blog-esque;' but I admit being guilty of re-pinning to items to move them into a more prominent area. A few months later,
Pinterest added the option of choosing your board cover (it can be easily changes). I was able to pick a favorite image to draw interest to any given board. I've featured three boards for expanded interest, to encourage input from students;
What we're reading will include additions by IRC student workers;
Mock Caldecott Panels will be introduced this fall with invitations to participate in the conversation planned as part of the session; and
Cumulative Tales will be used during a scavenger hunt and is already linked to a
LibGuide.
I want the boards to be immediately recognizable, so I've been experimenting with creating and setting permanent "covers" for three boards. Using a combination of personal photographs of the
IRC and library second floor, clip art students (signed releases are required for actual students), and word art, I developed a simple conversational board cover using PowerPoint and saved the slide as an image. I'm satisfied with the results - and the combination of set covers verses newest image displayed covers. Time will tell if the students feel the same. Is anyone else manipulating their board covers on Pinterest?
