This document provides suggestions for using Instagram in education. It outlines features of Instagram like image uploads, filters, hashtags, and 15 second videos. It then gives recommendations for setting up a class Instagram account, creating a hashtag, allowing students to submit photo or video assignments, doing image-based writing prompts, scavenger hunts, story chains, recreating scenes, and making 15 second movie trailers. The goal is to engage students and get them involved in learning through using Instagram.
