Pilar Munday’s post on the use of Instagram would be appealing to me but I seem to be outside of the target audience. I am not really sure how Ms. Munday and her friend Adelaida Martin are using Instagram in their Spanish classes, because Ms. Martin’s post explaining it is written in Spanish, which leaves me in the dark. This is unfortunate because Instagram appeals to student desires to use their phone and to utilize social media.
The concept of using Instagram within the classroom is an intriguing one that merits consideration. I could see its application in a language class like Ms. Munday’s as a form of scavenger hunt. It would even be applicable to some extent in English and science classes, perhaps even geometry. I feel that it would be harder for me to do this in a history class, given how the content is largely based on historical events and there aren't as many tangible things to be document at a campus.
