Course Description:
Instagram has become a valuable educational resource, providing a dynamic platform to connect, share, and inspire. This course introduces you to the world of “Teachergrams,” where teachers across all subjects and grade levels share classroom ideas, showcase student achievements, and connect with an extensive network of educators (virtual professional network)
In this course, you’ll learn strategies to build an engaging, professional Instagram presence that highlights the meaningful work happening in your classroom. From capturing hands-on projects and memorable field trips to sharing teaching strategies, Instagram allows you to create a visual portfolio of your classroom that resonates with students, parents, and colleagues nearby!
Join us to explore how Instagram can become a tool for professional growth, collaboration, and community, all from the convenience of your own device. By the end, you'll be equipped to expand your reach, engage with the educator community, and elevate your classroom impact in creative, inspiring ways.
