Using Instagram in the Classroom

An Introduction to Instagram in the Classroom

What is Instagram?

How do I get it?

How does it work?

How do I create images?

How can I use it to teach?

What if...

• students used Instagram to document evidence of the elements of art?
• you provided an image on Instagram as a writing prompt?
• you posted images that related to a culture you had been studying in a sociology class?
• students posted evidence of complex ecosystems for a biology class?
• students used Cartagram to study what images trended in different parts of the world?
• students used Instagram to display photos for the yearbook to encourage yearbook sales?
• students used Instagram to document evidence of the principles of good design for drafting class?
