Instagram in the Classroom?

SEEMS INSTAGRAM CAN BE USED IN THE CLASS.  ACCORDING TO  MARYALENE LAPONSIE, WE LEARN FIVE DIFFERENT WAYS THIS CAN HAPPEN:

1. ASSIGN PHOTO ESSAYS AND PHOTOJOURNALISM
2. CREATE WRITING PROMPTS WITH PHOTOS
3. DOCUMENT SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS AND ART PROJECTS
4. RAISE FUNDS FOR YOUR CLASSROOM OR SCHOOL
5. SHOWCASE CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES AND STUDENT PROGRESS

The funny thing about this is that Instagram need not be the only tool to achieve these goals.  I could just project pictures using any old thing and do the same thing.

Authentic Learning for the 21st Century: An Overview by M. Lombardi

Abstract: Learning-by-doing is generally considered the most effective way to learn. The 

Internet and a variety of emerging communication, visualization, and simulation 

technologies now make it possible to offer students authentic learning experiences 

ranging from experimentation to real-world problem solving. This white paper 

explores what constitutes authentic learning, how technology supports it, what makes 

it effective, and why it is important.
