Instagram in my Classroom and Art Program

One of my assignments for my Grad class this semester has been to create a video about a technology that I use in the classroom.  I wanted to select a technology that presents a teacher-student collaboration and is not necessarily "equipment".  So, I chose our class Instagram account.  I started an Instagram account and have been using it since day 1.  Some shots are random student artworks, some are just things we are working on, etc.  As I moved further into my grad class and reviewed several documents, I realized that many of the evaluation criteria can be achieved by using my instagram account in a different, deeper way.  Instead of just taking a picture of whats going on, simple documentation, I have intentionally gone after specific art vocab words, specific student exemplar models and have also incorporated student use for our photography unit.  Using Instagram in the classroom has taught me how to intentionally apply everything you do so that it supports instruction, participating in teacher-student collaboration and taking pictures as a learning opportunity as well as a great way to share with parents/guardians, staff and the community about what we are learning, doing and how they can contribute!  Below is the video I made for my class.
