Many people assume there are no educational purposes for Instagram... I beg to differ. There are many educational uses for Instagram. Below you will find a day in the life that I created using Instagram as well as Storify. Check it out and please leave a comment. Thank you!
Project Reflection:
I truly enjoyed creating a day in the life using Instagram. I have been afraid of using apps and social media like this for sooo long. I have constantly been warned about the horror stories of potential educators using said apps. We have been conditioned to fear them. It is time to break this conception and realize the educational benefits! I have so many ideas of how to incorporate Instagram into the classroom. I would love to use it in the beginning of the semester to build community and to have every student do a day in the life to help us get to know one another! Instagram rocks!
