Instagram and Vine Videos

Instagram and Vine videos are a great resource to use in the classroom and library settings.  The possibilities are endless.  Both Instagram and Vine are popular social media sites and can be valuable teaching tools.  The students can explore a variety of ways to use both in their academic settings.  I'm a huge Instagram fan and now I really enjoy Vine too.

My Vine Videos:





The videos were fun to make, easy to upload and a breeze to share on various social media sites.

Instagram will not let you post any writing onto the pictures so I downloaded the app Overgram and used it to create the writing for the pictures.  It's a fun app to help add personalization to the Instagram pictures.

Overall I see many educational and inspiring opportunities where my students can use both Instagram and Vine videos to create projects.  Book pictures, quotes, quick favorite book parts can all be shared with the class through the use of both Instagram and Vine videos.  I can't wait to explore more options where I can use these wonderful social media apps with my students.

  1. I didn't download Overgram but I should have. Adding captions to pictures makes them better. In the library pictures of events can be captioned with descriptions.
