Showcase Student Work on Instagram

If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine what a carefully crafted class Instagram feed can say. Instagram can showcase student work by offering a place to feature student artwork or even interesting details about a student (i.e., a “meet a student” photo journal). Start a scavenger hunt in which students post pictures of items focused on a certain letter or theme. Have students post photos of items related to their favorite book or historical figure.

A Final World on Social Media

Privacy concerns are always an issue whether using social media for personal or educational use. Please read all social media platforms’ privacy pages, and ensure that your class feeds are set to private to protect students’ work. Review your school’s social media policy and if necessary, have parents sign consent forms for posting their child’s work online. Furthermore, make sure that students are well versed in etiquette and other proper use of technology.
