After watching Casey Neisants video “Instagram I Love You” I have a whole new respect for the application. The video was really interesting and confirmed what I already think. I love Instagram. It is one of my favorite applications. I know that there is so much out there that you can look at through the application. Instagram is such a great way to share information through images.
I want to use this in my future classroom. I want my students to be able to use Instagram as a platform to share information about the topics they are learning, connect with each other, and to post information that they see outside of the classroom that goes with what we are learning.
I know that hashtags are a big deal and are an easy way to look back at the images that are all under the same topic. If you are talking about something like the American Revolution in class, you can have the students create some kind of image to share under a certain hashtag (#schumanrevolution for example). This way, you can have the students tag their post and then go through them when you get together in class to see what everyone has come up with.
I think Instagram is a great classroom tool that students already know how to use and want to use.
