Abstract: This paper details a case study of using Pinterest as an educational
resource in an introductory anthropology course. Its use was evaluated through the
data provided by the platform itself and focus groups. This evaluation found that
Pinterest was a popular and useful tool for developing curated multimedia resources
to support students' learning. The focus group findings suggested that online
resources were shared by students across a variety of social networks, including but
not limited to Pinterest. These resources were shared and used beyond the
classroom, both physically in locations outside, but also with friends and family that
were not part of the classroom. The opportunities for developing critical thinking
through the use of tools such as Pinterest are explored.
