As a mom to two beautiful girls I have both Instagram and Snapchat to keep my friends and family updated with my girls! I love both programs and have never thought to create an account for my classroom. While I do not believe that Snapchat is a good tool for the classroom I do love the suggestion of Instagram for the classroom. With our world being so technologically driven; I believe that parents would really buy into a class Instagram. This would also keep them abreast of what is going on within the classroom on a day to day basis. It would also give them the opportunity to see projects or celebrations we might have within the classroom. Every parent could join and be part of our classroom. Now there are options to go live as well! So that also could be awesome for parents to see their children learning or in the depths of creating a project! I’m going to use Instagram next year with my class; with parent permission of course!!!
Terrific idea! Love the live video idea too. Fun.
