Notes

Very Pinteresting
I have been around in the field of education for 20 years, and have spent most my career honing in on student's personal learning styles to maximize their learning outcomes. As humans, we have an innate need and hunger for knowledge, and the channels we use to fulfill those needs are as unique and individual once we are. I have already been a teacher in the front lines for several years and also have learned the artwork of adapting my lessons to individual student's needs in order that everyone wins.

Recently, I made a career switch to marketing (for a women's clothing line), even though the industries may look different the principles have become quite similar. Effective marketing is actually great teaching; it's about the art of creating and adapting materials that reach a myriad of consumers learning styles.

Since my days in graduate school, I have been a proponent of Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University and a pioneer in the field of 20th century education. I believe that marketers who've a solid knowledge of Mr. Garner and his theories will benefit when creating materials for various learning styles. His theories have kept me flexible, and I constantly think about how exactly to reach different audiences when I communicate.

Mr. Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory claims that all humans have eight intelligences and YES t here 's overlap between areas; an individual can be a little of the and a little of that. Our personal profile is based on our genetics and our experiences; it's why is us unique and individual.

Below you'll find all of the Mr. Gardner's theories, taken out of his original book "Frames of Mind." The eight theory was developed 10 years later, when he realized there was an additional kind of intelligence to measure.

Linguistic Intelligence / Logical-Mathematical Intelligence / Musical Intelligence / Body-Kinesthetic Intelligence / Spatial Intelligence / Interpersonal intelligence / Intrapersonal intelligence / Naturalist Intelligence.

I highly recommend taking some time to ponder which styles you lean towards, also to read more about Mr. Gardner. His theories provide great insight into personal awareness.

Keeping in mind that our customers have a wide variety of personalities and learning styles, my team and I are constantly searching for effective tools which will provide connection and promote our brand concurrently. In today's digital age t here are numerous channels to advertise and connect on the web. The women's fashion industry is a very visually driven field, and I recently conducted a report of up and coming social media apps that you can buy to see which would fulfill our needs.

After tinkering with various apps, I've found that Pinterest is an excellent tool for visual/interpersonal/intrapersonal learners. This platform is simple to understand and allows users to share their personal aesthetics. Furthermore, Pinterest provides marketers with the opportunity to obtain a glimmer into what customers are drawn to, what customers are thinking about, what customers want. Pinterest pictures can connect to other social platforms such as Polyvore (a fashion website) and Facebook.

Our consumer website is in the midst of being developed, and we're planning to imbed a Pinterest "share" button onto the website for customers to create product images and purchasing links for others to see and share. In the same way teachers share newly found "best practice" tools of the trade with one another, I'll keep you posted on our adventures with Pinterest. Here's to success and exploring new territory.
