Descriptiopn
As current circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to increase our reliance on digital tools, it has become increasingly important for educators to understand and acknowledge social media applications as a legitimate, authentic form of communication within student culture. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the utilization of Instagram for student engagement within the online learning environment. By implementing this popular social media application in the educational context, educators call upon students’ prior knowledge and place value on an important aspect of their students’ culture. The instructor will provide an introduction to social media engagement and give examples of how the application can be implemented across various disciplines and subject matter. Attendees will learn how to use the application in the context of their own educational setting and receive guidance in setting up of an account, navigation of the application, creation of communications, and applying the application for engagement during online instruction. Attendees will take an active role in their learning process by sharing ideas, creating small projects and interacting with other attendees via the application. By the end of this 3.5 hour workshop, attendees will have a solid foundation online engagement via Instagram and an action plan for utilization of the application within their area of interest.
