This guy was hilarious. I’m struggling to find the relevance to education, but that’s because I’m a 60 year old woman stuck in a 25 year old’s body. But I love Instagram too, so that’s what drew me to the video. His guide is on point, and it’s helpful and I wish I could show this video to everyone on Instagram.
How can I relate this to learning? Well, other than learning how to Instagram, I think I can relate this to a few things we’ve covered so far. I have a story about a student of mine using Instagram to get himself an in with a surf company. It kind of reminds me of Logan Laplante, and his hackschooling. My student was picked up by a surf company that liked his instagram videos, and now my student is learning (through experience) the pros and cons of being sponsored and what that means for a teen trying to go pro. Which is something every kid dreams about, and can never learn from a traditional classroom setting. So Instagram taught my student, and probably lots of other learners throughout the world, the power of an online presence and how to promote himself.
