POSSIBLE WAYS TO IMPLEMENT INSTAGRAM IN YOUR CLASSROOM:
- Possible Instructional Use 1: When studying grammar, students could post photos of grammar being misused in society. (For example, your vs. you’re, their vs. they’re vs. there) This extends student learning and application beyond the classroom.
- Possible Instructional Use 2: To promote creative writing I could post a photo, for example, of a beautiful snow scene, and students could comment/blog about that photo, using descriptive words and details.
- Possible Instructional Use 3: While reading a novel, students could post photographs that connect to the reading and then comment about them. For example, if a student were reading The Help and saw a chocolate pie in the window of a bakery, he/she could photograph the pie and write a brief caption to connect that photograph to a quotation from the text.
