Instagram is a photo sharing website and mobile application. Since school aged children are so technology savvy it makes sense for teachers to use Instagram to their benefit. Instagram is a simple and easy way to use and the fact that it is free is also a great thing, All the students have to do is make an account, follow the classes Instagram page and there they can see whenever the teacher post assignments. Teachers can post homework for kids on it or even post the notes from the class. By the teachers posting documents through images from class on Instagram kids are more likely to check or use it as a resource. Instagram can also be a great way to alert kids when they are on vacation, have missed class for doctors appointments or music lessons, also when they are just not in school, about things they have to do or work they missed. Not only can kids use it for things they missed but they also can use it as a everyday resource whenever they are doing work.
Thank you for sharing some ideas for teachers to use with their students. I agree with you, the new generation in so much into technology, teachers should keep up with their students.
